Heat large soup pot over medium heat. Start by cutting the chuck roast into 3 pieces. Salt & pepper both sides. Place in the pot & brown both sides. Take the meat off the heat & set aside. To the same pot, add beef stock, water, sliced onion, smashed garlic, adobo pepper seasoning, chipotle peppers, bay leaves, can of crushed tomatoes, salt & pepper, dried oregano & the juice of a lime. Stir to combine. Add the meat back in & bring to a gentle boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat & gently simmer for 1 hour.After 1 hour, take all the big pieces of onion, garlic, peppers & tomatoes out. Put into a blender & blend. Pour back into the stock. Put the lid back on & simmer for 3 more hours.After 3 hours, take the pot off the heat. Pull your meat out & shred with two forks. Place the shredded beef back into the pot. Heat a medium pan over medium-low heat. Take a tortilla, dip 3/4 of the tortilla into the beef stock mixture. Place dipped tortilla on the pan & add your cheese, shredded beef & pico de gallo to half of the tortilla. When the cheese has melted & the tortilla is slightly browned, fold the tortilla - making a taco. Let it cook until it's crispy & golden brown on both sides.Repeat until you have 8 tacos. Serve with beans and/or rice. Ladle some of the beef stock mixture into a small bowl for dipping. Enjoy!
