Description
This isn’t really a recipe, but more an idea for busy weeks. My Slow Cooker Tacos are a family favorite around here! I’m not really “making” my tacos in the slow cooker, but I’m certainly letting the taco meat hang out there a bit and stay warm until we can get home to assemble.
Ingredients
Scale
Make your tacos anyway you like, but this is how I typically make ours:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (one tablespoon for every pound of beef you use)
- 1 can of corn (drained, we love Trader Joe’s)
- 1 (4 oz) can of chopped green chiles
- 1 (8 oz) can of tomato sauce
- flour tortillas, crunchy shells, chips, rice…whatever you want the “bed” of the meal to be
- chopped green onions to garnish
- Guacamole (we love this one!)
- any extra toppings like salsa, sour cream and/or cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown up your ground beef in a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Once browned and crumbly, add in a pinch of salt and pepper as well as your chili powder.
- Transfer this ground beef mixture to your slow cooker and add in your corn, chopped green chiles, and tomato sauce. Cover and either keep on the “warm” setting or cook on low.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, remove the lid and add your taco mixture over your favorite tortillas, rice, chips or even greens, top with garnishes and serve.
