For a richer flavor, sear the beef and pork roasts in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and add depth to the final dish. If you prefer a spicier machaca, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a minced jalapeño to the slow cooker along with the enchilada sauce and green chiles. This machaca is also delicious served over rice or quinoa, or used as a filling for tamales or empanadas. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
