Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped

Instructions
- Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sear each side of the beef roast for approximately 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared roast to your slow cooker. Surround it with chopped onions, minced garlic, chipotle peppers, and pineapple chunks.
- In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Pour this sauce mixture over the beef and veggies.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 4–6 hours until fork-tender.
- Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the meat with two forks. Return it to the crockpot and mix with the sauce.
- During the final cooking time, prepare your bowls by cooking your choice of rice and warming black beans and corn.
- Layer rice in bowls, then add shredded beef, black beans, corn, bell pepper, avocado, and finish with cilantro.
- Serve warm with lime wedges and enjoy!
