These barbacoa street tacos are easy to make with fall apart tender shredded beef. The meat is cooked low and slow in a rich sauce full of chipotles, onion, garlic, and spices. While this isn't an authentic barbacoa recipe, it's an easy crockpot version that you can make at home using beef chuck roast and bold Mexican flavors!
