  3. Place the seasoned steak in the slow cooker and add beef broth and diced green chiles.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is very tender and shreds easily.

  6. Stir in lime juice and let the meat soak up the juices for about 10 minutes.
  7. Warm the tortillas and serve the shredded beef with your favorite taco toppings.
