Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos


Crock Pot Beef Carnitas Tacos
serves 6-8

Ingredients:
For the Crock Pot:
2 lbs. Flank Steak
1 Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped

For the Spice Rub:
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper

For Serving:
Corn Tortillas
Avocado Slices
Cilantro
Salsa
Sour Cream
Cheese

Directions:
Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your flank steak - be generous! Then, place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot.

Cover the steak with chopped onions, bell peppers, and jalapeno pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours.

After 8 hours, remove meat from crock pot and shred with a fork. It should be incredibly easy to shred. You can either stick the shredded meat back in the pot for another hour or serve as is.

To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon some carnitas on a tortilla and add your favorite toppings!
