Recipes Tips
If you want to add more flavor to the shredded beef, you can add a tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the slow cooker.
For a healthier option, you can serve the shredded beef in lettuce wraps instead of tacos.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the shredded beef in a Dutch oven over low heat on the stove for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
