- Chop 1 tbsp chipotle in adobo

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the tomato sauce, chopped chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to blend.
-
Step 2.
Add the flank steak pieces, sliced red onion, and pressed garlic to the slow cooker. Stir to coat the meat and onions with the sauce.
-
Step 3.
Cover the slow cooker and cook until the meat is very tender and easily shreds, 4 to 5 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low.
-
Step 4.
Using two forks, shred the beef directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded meat into the sauce.
-
Step 5.
Serve the shredded beef with warm corn tortillas, sour cream, and pico de gallo. To warm tortillas, wrap up to six in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until soft and pliable, about 20 seconds.
