Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
13 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
4 whole Chipotle Peppers
4 cloves Garlic
4 teaspoons Cumin
2 teaspoons Oregano
1- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
4 pounds Chuck Roast
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
3/4 cups Chicken Broth
3 whole Bay Leaves

Directions

1

Combine the lime juice, vinegar, peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, and cloves in a blender or food processor and blend at the highest speed until smooth.
2

Cut the roast into several smaller pieces, trimming any excess fat.
3

In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium high heat and brown the meat on all sides (in batches if necessary).
4

Pour the sauce into a crockpot, and add the chicken broth, bay leaves, and the meat.
5

Cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-5 hours, turning the meat occasionally.
6

We like to break the meat up into smaller pieces or shred it in the pan while it still has 30-60 minutes left to cook, which lets the juices and spices get into the meat even more.
7

Remove bay leaves before serving.
