Preparation

In a bowl, combine the diced beef shin with chipotle paste.

Cooking

Transfer the marinated beef, sliced onion, chopped garlic, quartered tomatoes, thyme sprigs, and beef stock to a slow cooker.
Season with salt and pepper.

Once cooked, remove the thyme sprigs and shred the beef slightly using tongs or a fork.
Drain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil on the stovetop, reducing it by half.
