Beef Barbacoa Bowls

Lexi over at Lexi's Clean Kitchen did it again! We made these the other day and loved every ounce of it. They were so easy, SO delcious and so tender. We just ate the meat with some veggies, but these would be amazing as tacos, over rice, in a burrito. I would pretty much eat it anyway possible! Plus cooking in a crock pot is good in my book! Enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

• 2 1/2 pound beef shoulder

Rub Ingredients: 

• 1 tablespoon paprika

How to Make: 

1. Put broiler on high
2. In a bowl, combine rub ingredients
3. Press into beef shoulder on all sides
4. Broil for 4 minutes on each side
5. While in oven, combine all sauce ingredients in your slow-cooker
6. Once beef is done in oven, place into crock pot and set on low for 7-8 hours (due to work, ours was in there for about 9 hours) 
7. Once done, assemble with anything you want! Fried plantains, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, salsa! 
8. Enjoy!
