Mexican Shredded Beef recipe and content provided by Sheridan Austin<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike many Mexican feasts that can leave you feeling tired, this Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef uses clean and fresh ingredients that won\u2019t make you feel foggy. This recipe is also high in vitamin B12<\/a>. Using short ribs or beef shank, the bones simmer all day in liquid and forms a gelatin-rich base to your meal.<\/p>\n

This keto-friendly Mexican Shredded Beef can be a side to any Mexican feast you desire. However, we love serving ours on lettuce cups, on top of rocket or spinach, alongside roasted or raw vegetables, or under a dollop of Bulletproof guacamole<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recommended: Dry-Rubbed Slow-Cooker Short Ribs<\/strong><\/p>\n
