Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos #SundaySupper

This week Sunday Supper is working on a Slow Cooker theme and I'm the co-host with Christie from A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.  I have been waiting for this theme because as soon as it starts getting cold out I love breaking out my slow cooker.  Also, I love using my slow cooker whenever I go to aerobics after school because I don't get home until 6 but dinner is ready to go.

This week I made Shredded Beef Tacos in the slow cooker.   Usually when I make tacos in the slow cooker I make pork so I wanted to try something a little bit different.  While I know some people cook their vegetables or brown their beef in a skillet before putting it into the slow cooker, I'm not one of them.   If I'm using it for convenience or making something before work, I don't want to spend precious time cooking something in a pan first.   I also don't want the extra dishes.   The beauty of the slow cooker is that there is only 1 dirty dish to wash at the end of the night.

These tacos are super easy to make.  I took a large beef chuck roast and rubbed it with some of my favorite Mexican spices.   I placed it in the slow cooker and then cut up some onions.  They went into the pot as well.  Then I poured in the beef broth and a few other ingredients, gave it a stir, and set it for 8 hours.

When I got home from aerobics that night all I had to do was shred the beef and keep it on warm while I prepared the toppings.   We used cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos to top our tacos.   I would have liked to have had some guacamole or avocado but I didn't have any in the refrigerator.  The tacos were just a little bit spicy and had a ton of flavor to them.   They were great rolled up in tortillas and would also have been good in hard taco shells.

We had enough left over that the next day I was able to take some to work.   I put it on top of a salad and made a shredded beef taco salad.   Delicious!
