    Salsa Verde Shredded Beef Tacos

    Well, I’m officially on a salsa verde shredded meat kick. Last week, it was pork tacos with salsa verde and some chopped jalapenos. This week, it’s this shredded beef with an simple cilantro slaw on top. Both meats were cooked in the slow cooker. (Because I NEED my slow cooker these days…here’s why. After this week, I wish to never see a doctor’s office or hospital again. Sigh.)

    I love the balance of flavors and textures in these tacos. Perfectly soft shredded beef, delightfully fresh crunch from the cabbage, plus wonderful flavor combinations from the lime, cilantro and salsa verde.

    Also, flour or corn…it’s entirely up to you. I’m on a bit of a corn tortilla/street tacos kick these days, hence the use of corn tortillas for us. Reason: they are c.h.e.a.p. You can get a bag of 50 corn tortillas here in San Antonio for less than $2. Yes, please. Plus, they store well in the freezer…so I don’t have to worry about them going to waste. Win-win!

    Finally, look at this guy! He can’t wait for the ‘leftovers’ that fall from the baby’s highchair ๐Ÿ™‚

    He almost got this taco off the counter. (That wouldn’t be the first time he’s attacked a taco that I’m photographing.)

    Hope you enjoy these tacos as much as we did!
