Quick Crock Pot Tacos

Some days I am just too busy to cook, that is why I love my crock pot!  I use it for soup, chili, chicken, beef, and lots of random things.  Today I would like to share a quick post about one of the easiest and most delicious crock pot meals I love to throw together.  No prep, no mess, and a delicious dinner waiting when you get home!

Crock Pot Tacos


Ingredients:

• Beef roast of some sort
• 1 package taco seasoning (or see below to make your own)
• 1 jar of salsa

Instructions:

1. Place your roast in the crock pot.
2. Dump other ingredients on top.
3. Cook for 6-8 hours on high until tender (if you'll be gone longer turn it on a lower setting to avoid overcooking).
4. Shred and ...
5. Enjoy!

We eat this in tortillas often with some beans, avocado and other taco toppings.  It is so good!  Great for potlucks too!

Make your own Taco Seasoning:

Mix together:

• 2 T. cumin
• 1 t. Paprika
• 2 t. chili powder
• 1 t. salt
• 1 1/2 t. onion and garlic powder
• 1/2-1 t. cayenne pepper (the more you add the spicier it gets)

You can play around with this.  Sometimes I add cilantro, cinnamon, or coriander.  It is interesting to see what happens when you mix in flavors usually associated with sweets like cinnamon.  Have fun cooking, this is a great one to task your non-cooking family members with.  It is easy, and as long as they remember to plug in the crock pot and turn it on, they can't mess it up!
