- 12 –16 soft tortillas corn or flour
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 to 1½ cups salsa
- 2 limes cut into wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the shredded beef by following the Slow Cooker Shredded Beef recipe and shredding the beef back into the cooking juices.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and heated through.
- Fill each tortilla with shredded beef, adding a little of the cooking liquid if needed.
- Top with diced onion, cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes
Keep the beef warm in the slow cooker: If you’re serving tacos for game day or a party, leave the beef on warm so it stays hot and ready.
Use the cooking juices: Spoon a little over the beef when serving to keep it from drying out.
Warm the tortillas: Warm tortillas fold better and make the tacos easier to eat.
Prep toppings ahead: Chop onion and cilantro earlier in the day so taco night comes together fast.
Plan for leftovers: Make extra beef and use it later in bowls, quesadillas, or sandwiches.
