Ingredients

5 dried chipotle chile peppers
½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup tomato paste
1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (3 pound) beef shoulder roast, trimmed
¾ cup beef broth
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole cloves

Steps:

Slice open chile peppers and remove most of the seeds. Discard seeds and stems. Roughly chop and transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
Add onion, lime juice, tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, cumin, salt, and oregano to the peppers; pulse until smooth.
Place beef roast into a slow cooker and spread pureed mixture over top. Add broth, bay leaves, and cloves.
Cover and cook on Low until beef is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, about 7 hours.
Remove beef from the slow cooker and shred meat. Return meat to the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 1 more hour. Remove bay leaves before serving.
