Everyday Shredded Beef Filling

this recipe is from Slow Cooker Revolution, america's test kitchen's definitive resource for crock-pot cooking.  it's basically a carne guisada, a spicy tex-mex stewed beef that is excellent as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas,.  it would also make a killer hash.  this was super easy, and super tasty.  you braise a chuck roast in an aromatic liquid of minced garlic & onions, tomato sauce, and an assorted of spices all day.  take the meat out, let it cool a bit, and then shred it, and mix in some of the braising liquid with it to keep it moist.  i made simple tacos with it on heated flour tortillas, adding only some fresh cilantro and some radishes that i shredded and tossed with a little lime juice.  i liked this a lot, not only for ease & convenience but also for flavor & versatility.  a winner in every respect!
