Step 1

Preheat SAUTÉ function on slow cooker.

Step 2

Beef: In medium bowl, toss beef chuck roast with oil and 1 1/2 tsp adobo all-purpose seasoning with pepper. Transfer to slow cooker and cook, searing each side, for 12 to 18 minutes or until evenly browned all over. Transfer to medium plate.

Step 3

Add onion, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, adobo sauce, ancho chili and guajillo chili to slow cooker. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, 4 cups water, beef bouillon and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. Adobo.

Step 4

Transfer beef back to slow cooker, cover and reduce temperature to LOW. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 hours or until beef is very tender and pulls apart easy with a fork.

Gently transfer beef to cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred beef. Transfer to another medium bowl.

Strain broth into another medium bowl (reserving onion-tomato mixture) and stir in 1/4 cup lime juice.

Transfer onion-tomato mixture to blender and add 1/4 cup broth. Pulse until smooth. Add to beef. Add remaining 2 tbsp. lime juice to beef.

Step 8

In small bowl, toss together onion and cilantro. Transfer 1/4 cup onion mixture to another small bowl and reserve.

Assembly: Heat large skillet over medium heat. Dip a tortilla into strained broth and place in skillet. Top with 1/3 cup quesadilla cheese, 1/4 cup beef mixture, 2 tbsp of remaining onion mixture and fold to enclose filling. Cook, flipping once, for 2 to 4 minutes or until tortilla is crispy and cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas, more strained broth, remaining quesadilla cheese, remaining beef mixture and more onion mixture.
