Smoked Beef Barbacoa

Beef barbacoa is a traditional Mexican dish made by slow-cooking meat until it’s tender and easy to shred, usually with simple spices and chiles. In this version, a chuck roast is cooked on a Pit Boss smoker for six hours, giving it a light smoky flavor. The low, slow heat helps break down the meat so it becomes juicy and fall-apart tender. Once done, the beef shreds easily and is full of flavor. It’s perfect for tacos, burritos, or served over rice with your favorite toppings.
