Make Beef Tinga in the Slow Cooker (or Instant Pot)
September 11, 2025
This beef tinga achieves all the bold flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture of traditional tinga, but in the most hands-off of methods: the slow cooker. Tinga is commonly made with shredded chicken simmered in a smoky chipotle-tomato sauce—but here, beef chuck roast takes the spotlight. Start with a quick, no-cook blender sauce, then sear the beef and pop it all in the slow cooker or Instant Pot for a low-effort, high-reward recipe that feels a little like magic—and one big batch sets you up with flavorful, ready-to-go meals all week long. The result is tender, juicy meat that soaks up every bit of that rich, spicy-sweet sauce before being piled high onto warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.
