Chipotle's Copycat Barbacoa (With New Video)

Chipotle's famous barbacoa is the Mexican barbecue of my dreams. With this amazing copycat recipe (made in a crockpot) it can be a reality for you. Seared beef is slow cooked in a spectacular spicy adobo sauce and combination of flavors that create the perfect moist and tender Mexican shredded beef.

My sister-in-law treated Chad and me to Chipotle's for lunch about 7 years ago, and I have been hooked ever since.  As I have confessed before, I love the food at some restaurants, but for so many reasons eating out is completely lost on me.  Over the last few years I have created make at home versions for many of our favorite Chipotle recipes: Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice, Roasted-Chile Corn Salsa, Pork Carnitas and Guacamole.
 Once again, I began researching and taste testing to develop my copycat recipe.  Once the dish was complete I hosted an awesome party and invited my friends to partake in a burrito kafe starring our Chipotle's Copycat Barbacoa.  It's tender and moist seared beef, braised in an incredible blend of adobo, lime, cumin, garlic and oregano that come together to blow away any barbacoa you have ever tasted.

Burritos loaded with pico de gallo, Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice and Guacamole and barbacoa were the star of the party and our guests are patiently waiting on the recipe.  Well here it is.  Enjoy!

With love from our kitchen table to yours.

====================================================================

Chipotle's Copycat Barbacoa
SERVES 12  |  ACTIVE TIME 15 Min  |  TOTAL TIME 6 Hours 15 Min

2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3-4 pound chuck roast, fat trimmed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 bay leaves

Sauce
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
4 chipotle peppers (from a can, packed in adobo sauce)
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle pepper can)
1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon chicken base)
¼ cup fresh lime juice

Prepare roast.  Make sure all visible fat is trimmed.  Cut into 8 chunks.  Sprinkle all sides of cut beef with ½ of the salt (1 teaspoon), reserving the remaining 1 teaspoon.  Set aside.

In a blender or food processor combine the sauce ingredients.  Blend until smooth.  Set aside.  If you do not have a food processor or blender, see cook’s note.

Warm a heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat, until water dripped over top sizzles.  Add oil.  Sear all sides of cut beef.  Once all sides are seared, place seared beef into slow cooker.  Set slow cooker temperature to high.  Pour sauce over top. Add bay leaves. Cook for 5-6 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) covered.

After about 5 hours (or 7 hours on low) shred beef using 2 forks to pull it apart.  Taste, and add additional teaspoon of salt (as needed), stir to completely coat in sauce.  Cover and cook for 1 more hour.  After this time you can serve and enjoy or turn slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.

To create burrito:  Layer* pico de gallo, Chipotle’s Copycat Cilantro Lime Rice and Chipotle’s Copycat Barbacoa on a large flour tortilla.  Additional toppings of Chipotle’s Copycat Guacamole, sour cream and cheddar cheese are also exceptional. *Click on link for recipes

Serve and enjoy!

DONNA'S NOTES:  to prepare the sauce without a blender, mince the garlic and chipotle peppers.  Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
