Crock Pot Beef Carnitas Tacos

Here is another Pinterest find that I was so excited to try out because I thought the rub would give it a lot of flavor, plus the picture looked soooo good. Their picture looks wayyy better than mine so don't judge :)

However, I think the dish could have used more spices. It was kind of bland which surprised me. Kyle and I had to put more seasonings on our own tacos. Next time, I will add different ingredients as well.

Try it out and see what you think or experiment a little.

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. flank steak (I used a little under 2 lbs)

1 onion; chopped

1 green bell pepper; chopped

1 red bell pepper; chopped

1 jalapeno; seeded and chopped

 

For the rub:

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

 

Additional items for serving:

tortillas

avocado slices

cilantro

limes

salsa

cheese

 

What To Do:

• Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your flank steak. Place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot
• Cover the steak with chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeno
• Turn heat on low and cook for 8 hours
• After time is up, remove meat and shred. Put back in the crock pot and mix up with the onions and peppers
• Arrange your tacos to your liking!!!
