Copycat Chipotle Beef Barbacoa

Step 1
Slice open chile peppers and remove most of the seeds. Discard seeds and stems. Roughly chop and transfer to the bowl of a food processor.

Step 2
Add onion, lime juice, tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, cumin, salt, and oregano to the peppers; pulse until smooth.

Step 3
Place beef roast into a slow cooker and spread pureed mixture over top. Add broth, bay leaves, and cloves.

Step 4
Cover and cook on Low until beef is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, about 7 hours.

Step 5
Remove beef from the slow cooker and shred meat. Return meat to the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 1 more hour. Remove bay leaves before serving.
