Get out the crock pot! Sometimes nothing with do but red meat. I love, love just about any kind of shredded meat, beef, pork, chicken, yum. Here's a simple, prep and leave it recipe for Spicy Shredded Beef Tacos that works great for a busy week night meal. Set the beef to cook before heading out the door and come home to a tangy, savory make your own meal. And it's healthy too.

Ingredients:

2 lbs flank steak
1 chopped yellow onion
1 chopped red pepper
1 seeded and chopped jalapeno

For spicy rub--

2 tsp chili powder, I like the chipotle kind
1 tsp cumin, or more
1/2 twp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp paprika (I like smoked)
salt and pepper

Serve with--

Corn tortillas
Avocado slices
Cilantro
Salsa
Lime

Directions --

Rub the steak with lots of the spicy mixture. You can let this sit for a while, over night in a sealed container, or just pop it in the bottom of your crock pot.  Add the rest of the ingredients and set to cook on low for 6-8 hours. You can add a little beef broth to keep meat moist if you like but you shouldn't need to. When meat is cooked use a fork to shred. Serve as is or keep in crock pot a little longer.

I think it's fun to put all the taco fillings in pretty bowls on the table and let every one make there own.

Enjoy!
