How to Make Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos :

Step 1

Start by placing the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. This helps create a flavorful base and keeps the beef from sticking and place the beef on top of the onions. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the beef. Add the garlic around the meat.

Step 2

As we go pour the beef broth and tomato sauce over everything. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.

Step 3

As things settle cook on low heat until the beef is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. This usually takes several hours, but the slow cooker allows the flavors to develop slowly and deeply.

Step 4

To close things out once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it into the cooking juices so it stays moist and flavorful and serve the shredded beef warm in taco shells or tortillas with your favorite toppings.
