This makes an incredibly tender shredded beef with a Mexican flair. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the slow cooker does all the work, and it's well worth the wait. It's great on tortillas, in sandwiches, and even in soup. Go easy on the hot pepper sauce if you don't like spicy food.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for slow-cooker shredded beef.
Brown the beef before slow-cooking. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the beef moist and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
Season the beef with your favorite spices and herbs. Garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and cumin are all good choices.
Cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The beef is done when it is fall-apart tender.
Serve the shredded beef on its own, or use it in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or sandwiches.
