Told you it was easy. You’ll need a nice chuck roast, a packet of Ranch Seasoning and a jar of Herdez Salsa Verde. That is it, not another ingredient needed!
Chuck Roast Recipe Slow Cooker
Once your Beef is in the slow cooker, sprinkle this nice packet of Ranch Seasoning on top.
Pour the entire jar of Herdez Salsa Verde on top as well.
I know, the difficulty is too much 🙂
Close the lid, let er’ cook for 5-6 hours, shred then place back into the slow cooker until you are ready for some tacos! Enjoy!
How To Make Shredded Beef Tacos
- Place chuck roast into a large slow cooker on medium or high heat. Sprinkle Ranch Seasoning Packet over top then pour Salsa over top as well.
- Close slow cooker lid and let cook on medium or high for 5-6 hours, until beef is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
- Remove beef from slow cooker and drain liquid, do not discard. Shred beef, removing fat then place back into slow cooker. Pour 1/2-1 cup of liquid back into shredded beef and reduce setting to warm or low. Use beef for tacos and burritos.
Tips For Serving
- Serve shredded beef inside tacos, burritos, over salad and even nachos. Top with your favorite taco toppings such as sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lettuce, pico de gallo, jalapeños.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Yummy looking recipe, never tried ranch seasoning in it before. I have a tip to make them even better, brown the meat first. Get a really good sear on it and it just adds that much more flavor. I’ve also tossed a few jalapenos in to kick up the heat, but that’s more of a personal preference. And this meat is usually pretty delicious on nachos as well. 🙂
This was so good. Only problem I had was the roast didn’t fall apart. I had to cut it up with an electric knife. Any suggestions?
Do you taste the ranch dressing mix in this? I have a taco soup recope that calls for the ranch mix and i don;t taste it at all in that
I made these with a bear roast! They were the best
Tacos ever! So easy and since we hunt and had
The meat on hand it cost less then 5$ to feed a
Family of 4 and I have to say we all had more then
Three each. lol so good thanks for the recipe it is
One we will be keeping.
So glad to hear it Jen! Thanks for the feedback!!
The best recipe ever! My family LOVED it, served over brown rice,,,yum!
Thanks Roberta!
These slow cooker tacos sound really good!
So.. what crock pot do you have? do you love it? is it generally reliable enough to leave alone for 6-8hrs? I have two 6qt ovals, one I’ve got down to a science for the most part, the other one I hate. I’m getting rid of it. But I like having two big ones for family events(which occur regularly enough). I’d love to have a crock pot that I can truly set and forget- like an ancient one I used to have. All the newer ones seem to get so hot! I’ve filled up to the brim in the one i’m getting rid of and still had burned food! Burned chicken soup!
TIA for any info!
I just love your blog!! All of your recipes have been very doable and delicious. Thank you! (I have your cookbook, too) 🙂
This was fantastic! I was worried that it wouldn’t be seasoned (or salty enough) but it was excellent. Will make it many more times!!
So glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback!!
Jenny,
Let me just tell you how wonderful this dish was!!!! I made this for my family last night and it was delicious! We even had leftovers and I had it again today for lunch. Everyone enjoyed it so much that no one was talking during dinner, they were to busy trying to get the next bite of food in their mouth!!! Thanks for the recipe…..its’s definitely a keeper 🙂

Love to hear it Christy! Thanks so much for the feedback!!
Have you ever tried this recipe using a pork butt roast?
Yes! It’s incredible! Definitely can be substituted!!
Yum! So flavorful and spicy!
Oh my gosh Jenny! This is so easy and looks delish. I am a little intimidated by some SWern/Mexican dishes and you totally simplified it. Can’t wait to try it. We are having a birthday party this weekend. I was going to make wings, but this looks soooo easy and would be a crowd pleaser.
This looks amazing! Slow cookers are the way to go!
Delicious and fantastic looking recipe!
How spicy is it? I’m wondering if it would be too spicy for my 7 and 8 year olds.
I can tell you that I do not like anything remotely spicy. and I have not made this specific recipe, but a very similar one (I used pork) with the salsa verde and it is not spicy.
Hi Missy, this one is not spicy at all. My husband and kids like things very mild and they were fine with this recipe 🙂
Can you substitute ground beef or chicken? Hubby is not a fan of taco’s with roast!
Could you supply another seasoning packet alternative–since I abhore/detest anything ranch dressing–for me it qualifies for do not put in mouth.
Suzann, you can leave the seasoning packet out completely. Just season with a pinch or two of salt and pepper then add the salsa verde.
Great weeknight meal after driving the kids around to all their activities! Yummy tacos!
Oh, Jenny, this sounds so good! Yum yum! 🙂
LOVE this healthy family meal Jenny! East too 🙂
Just added this to this weeks menu… I make similar with Pork tacos, but never thought to use beef! Silly Me. Thanx!
PS… I made them, and they are a huge hit. Yum Yum Yum!!! definitely a keeper for the regular rotation…
Can this be cooked on low for longer? I am gone for nine hours after I leave for work in the morning.
These look so great!! I love that they are so easy to make!!
Brilliant! Only three ingredients! I love when I use my slow cooker – it makes my day so much more relaxing 🙂
I am making these TONIGHT!!!
My family would love these. Great weeknight meal!
I love the simplicity of this!!
Can not WAIT to try these!! Slow cooker meals are at the TOP of my list right now!!
Cannot WAIT to try this — easy meals like these are at the top of my list!!
Great slow cooker meal!
I love Herdez salsa!!! It’s the only salsa my mom bought growing up and now I’m hooked. Wish I could have a taco with you!
Herdez is my favorite grocery store brand too! Yes, we need tacos together 🙂
Haha! That’s like me with the end of winter break. At least we got snowed in so school was canceled 🙂 Seriously need some of this asap! Looks great 🙂
Perfect weeknight dinner! Looks delicious 🙂
Thank you Shea!
Yummy! Love this! Have never made beef tacos, but being that simple I may have to try! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
These are the ultimate simple beef tacos, hope you enjoy!!
These look better than anything I’ve seen in Australia since I moved here. I must make these at once!
Thank you Maureen! Australia must be a fun place to live!!
