Crockin' Good Shredded Jalapeno Beef Roast image

Don't let the jalapeno scare you, it's not hot, maybe just a little spicy but its a mild heat. So much you can do with this shredded meat! Use in a salad, fold up in a warm tortilla, make taco's, burrito's, enchiladas or make a gravy and serve over rice or mashed taters! Make several different meals during the week and no one...
