- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained 14.5 ounces

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chuck roast and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix evenly over the beef.
- Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
