Slow Cooker Carne Asada

Some of my favorite ways to top a simple corn tortilla filled with shredded Carne Asada meat are:

diced avocados
pico di gallo
fresh lime
cilantro
pickled jalapenos
diced white onions

Slow Cooker Carne Asada
2 lbs flank steak or stew meat (i.e.- chuck roast)
1 cup salsa (tomato sauce based – like Chi Chi’s or Old El Paso)
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin

For Serving:
Corn or Flour Tortillas
Diced Avocado
Pico Di Gallo or diced tomatoes and onions
Fresh squeezed limes
cilantro

Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Before serving, take two forks and shred beef. Stir with juices.

Serve over warm corn tortillas and garnish with pico di gallo, avocados, lime and cilantro.

Note: The sauce tends to make the tortilla break, I recommend doubling up on the tortillas. Two tortillas per wrap.

Freeze This Dish
Want to make it ahead of time? This dish freezes well before and after you cook it. Just take all ingredients and put them in a freezer bag with the meat, and freeze. Thaw before you put into the slow cooker.

I get a lot of my slow cooker recipes from Faithful Provisions like this one.
