Crispy Pulled Beef Tacos – Cooked on Weber Smokey Mountain

These Crispy Pulled Beef Tacos are pack with layers or flavor. I smoked a beef chuck roast on my weber smokey mountain but you can also do these in a dutch oven on top of the stove.

These tacos have impressed many of guest over the years. Its the combo of cheeses and flavors that make this taco very tasty! I hope you enjoy this taco. It can also be done in a dutch oven on the stove if you did not want to bbq the meat but the smoke adds another layer of flavor.

This is my wife favorite taco. It’s the layers of flavors that makes this taco a crowd pleaser. I start off bbq making a wet rub and applying it to all sides of the Beef Chuck.

Wet Rub
Black Pepper – 1 Tablespoon
Garlic Salt – 2 Tablespoons
Chipotle Powder 1 Tablespoon
Ancho Chili Powder 1 Table spoon
1 Large Jalapeno Pepper
Enough Olive Oil to make paste

After you rub the beef chuck with the wet rub you can let sit in refrigerate for two hours or overnight if you have the time. Get your smoker set up to 250 degrees. I added cherry and apple wood to my charcoal that was set up in a snake method.

Place beef chuck on the top grill grate for the first hour or until you get desired color. Place in disposable pan and add 2 cups of your favorite tomato salsa. I did a basic salsa with tomatoes, garlic, onion, jalapeño, lime, salt and cilantro. Then apply one package of taco seasoning. Cook on covered for 1 hour.

After one hour cover with foil and cook until fork tender. In this video I was fighting the bad weather and I got the smoker up past 300 degrees to finish the cook after it was in foil and I got enough smoke.

After the beef has reached about 195 degrees check to see if it shreds. Remove from smoker and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before you shred. Shred all beef and add peppers and onions and some juice if needed.

When I make the tacos I try and get the yellow corn tortilla crispy. After I flip I add pepper jack cheese and then the pulled beef. Then I add the jack and cheddar cheese. After that I fold over and get read to add your favorite salsa and sour cream that has been mixed with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. As far as making the chipotle sour cream add as much chipotles and adobo sauce as you like.

I top the tacos with salsa and chipotle sour cream and a little Queso Cotija Molido cheese.
