Ingredients

• Non-stick cooking spray
• 2 1/2  lbs. beef chuck roast
• 1/2 medium onion diced
• 1 medium jalapeno thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
• 1 10 oz. can tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt and black pepper to taste

To serve:

• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
