Ingredients for Shredded Beef Tacos

You’ll need the following ingredients to make Mexican shredded beef tacos:

  • Beef Chuck – A boneless chuck roast will give you the best results. If you can’t find a chuck roast, a tri-tip roast, rump roast, top-round roast, or bottom-round roast will give you similar results.
  • Spices – A mixture of chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to make the Mexican seasoning.
  • Beef Broth – To help braise the beef, chicken broth will also work. Feel free to use low-sodium beef broth if desired.
  • Tomato Paste – To thicken the sauce.
  • Olive Oil – To sear the roast, avocado oil will also work.

In addition to the above, you’ll need corn tortillas or flour tortillas and toppings for your tacos.
