1 bottom round beef roast (3- 4 lbs)
1 tbsp canola oil
4 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 can beef broth (14.5 oz)
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)

1
Salt and pepper beef roast and sear roast in a tablespoon of oil.
2
Place in crock pot.
3
Place garlic, onions, beef broth, diced tomatoes and all seasonings on top (besides salt and pepper).
4
As for the chipotle peppers - add 3 large whole peppers and 2 scant tablespoons of adobo sauce into crock pot.
5
***I think this adds the perfect amount of smokey flavor and heat.
6
If you're concerned about it being too much - I'd reduce the sauce to a tablespoon and only add 2 peppers***
7
Give everything a stir to get it all blended.
8
Cover and cook on low for about 7-8 hours.
9
I was pressed for time when I made this last - so I cooked on low for four hours and on high for two hours.
10
Was perfect!
11
Shred meat.
12
Remove and discard peppers.
13
Spoon juices and tomatoes & onions from crock pot on top of beef (there's a ton of flavor and heat in there).

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with lime slices and white rice.

Yum - hope you enjoy : )
