Directions

Combine the broth, chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, garlic, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, dried oregano, cumin, sea salt, and  black pepper in a blender (everything except the beef and bay leaves). Puree until smooth.

Place the beef chunks in the slow cooker. Pour the pureed mixture from the blender on top. Add the bay leaves.

Cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low, until the beef is fall-apart tender. Can also be cooked in your instant pot for around 50 minutes with natural release.

Remove the bay leaves. Shred the meat using two forks and stir into the juices. Cover and rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the beef to absorb even more flavor. Serve.
