I adapted this recipe from, where else?, Recipezaar or Food.com as it's now called.  It's my favorite chipotle meat yet! This is the crockpot version, but it tastes even better if you cook it in a cast iron dutch oven over low heat for a long time.  So good! 
Chipotle Roast
              3  lbs                     chuck roast, trimmed of visible fat                                                                                        
              1  teaspoon                     salt                                                                                       
              1  teaspoon                     pepper 
               2  teaspoons                     chili powder                                                                                       
              2  teaspoons                     cumin                                                                                       
              3                       chipotle chiles in adobo                                                                                       
                                        1 (4  ounce) cans                    green chilies                                                            (I used homemade)
              1 (7  ounce) cans                    salsa verde                                                            (I used Green El Pato)                           
              1  cup                    sliced onions, optional
              3  teaspoons                    minced garlic 
              1  cup                     beef broth or water
Place roast in crockpot.  Place all  the other ingredients in a blender and liquify.  Pour over roast and  cook on high for 5-8 hours, the longer the better.  When done, remove  from crockpot and shred.  Put back in crockpot liquid and mix.  Serve.

I love your recipes and i have used lots of them :) Now, how do you 'serve' this? do you make tacos or burritos out of it, etc. TIA

Thanks for your kind words! I used this on tacos last night, but it can be used with burritos, as an enchilada filling, on a salad, in taquitos, etc. It's very versatile!
How do you shred it?
It really just falls apart at a touch. You can shred it with forks or with a pair of tongs.
