How to Make Barbacoa Beef Taco Bowls
  1. Blend the Marinade: Blend the dried chipotle peppers, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and lime juice until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Generously rub the marinade on the beef chuck roast and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Slow Cook the Beef: Cook the marinated beef in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours until fork-tender.
  4. Cook the Hash Browns: Cook frozen hash browns in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes before serving.
  5. For the Avocado Ranch Dressing: Blend ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Assemble the Taco Bowls: Layer crispy hash browns at the bottom of each bowl, add shredded barbacoa beef, and drizzle with avocado ranch dressing.
