    I made this yesterday as instructed (*except rice) and it was fantastic! There was not one morsel of it left. It was so good, in fact, that I've been asked to make again for Football Sunday this weekend! This one's a keeper! (*I was able to locate packages of cilantro and lime rice and didn't need to make from scratch*).

    Family loved this. We did it slightly different, served it street taco style with mini flour tortillas, sour cream, etc. I have a spanish rice recipe I love so I did that instead. The barbacoa was excellent. Usually when I make a crock pot roast type anything (stew, pulled pork, etc.) I have a huge amount left over that no one ever goes back to. With this, I only had one tiny little 8 ounce containers worth and I bet it'll be gone today. No one in my family had issue with the spice, however, everyone in the house except me snacks on jalapenos - so we're pretty spice loving.

    I would make this again but would tone down the heat. It made my hair curl but my husband said the heat didn't bother him. So if you have family members who are bothered by extra hot meals just fish out the meat when it's done, shred it and let those who like heat spoon the gravy over their dishes. I also tinkered with the rice. Sauted the cilantro lightly in butter before adding water and minute rice then added two tablespoons of gravy into the rice for flavor and then I put a large dollop of sour cream on top. Great flavor. I did have to plug the crock pot into another room and shut the door - the aroma was quite vivid. :-)

    This recipe is SO good. Taste just like chipotle barbacoa beef. I shredded the roast with a hand mixer, way too lazy for forks :) If you're looking for a good copy cat recipe of chipotle barbacoa beef, look no further.

    This recipe looks so delicious, will make it soon- minus the cilantro (I am one on those people that cilantro tastes like soap to). I was very relieved when I read through your recipe and that it was a beef roast, and not cow's head meat that was required! The barbacoa that I have seen on the cooking shows is made from meat off of a boiled cow's head! I know that is a very silly thing to say! But kudos to your recipe!
