• STEP 6.Fold the tortillas in half and serve the tacos hot. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, sear the marinated beef in a hot skillet before transferring it to the slow cooker.
• If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the beef in a Dutch oven or a large pot on the stovetop over low heat for 3-4 hours.
• To make the tacos even more authentic, serve them with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover shredded beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the beef, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
• Serve the tacos with additional toppings like guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese, if desired.
