STEAK TACOS
Crock-Pot Dish
- 2 lbs flank steak
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 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
- corn tortillas
- avocado slices
- cilantro
- fresh salsa
- lime
1. 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.
2. Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeno pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours. (Note: it may seem like it will not be okay to cook without water but it will cook just fine!)
3. 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.
4. To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon
some carnitas on a tortilla then top with salsa, avocado, cilantro & a
squeeze of lime. Enjoy with a margarita!
