Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by seasoning your beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast in olive oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until beautifully browned.
  2. Place the seared beef into the crockpot. Surround it with chopped onions, minced garlic, smoky chipotle peppers, and sweet pineapple chunks.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Pour this mixture over the roast in the crockpot.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, carefully shred the beef with two forks right in the crockpot. Let it soak up those amazing juices for an additional 10-15 minutes on low.
  6. While the beef is soaking, cook your choice of rice and warm up black beans and corn. Chop any additional vegetables you'd like to include.
  7. Start by adding a base of rice to each bowl, then pile on the shredded beef, black beans, corn, chopped bell pepper, creamy avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  8. Dig in right away for a delightful mix of flavors and textures that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
