I just love this recipe!   It is so easy and so tasty, the  meat is so tender and flavorful.  I love making this for large groups and having a bunch of topping for them to choose from. Lettuce, beans, cheese, avocado, onion, cilantro and yogurt.  Its perfect for a little taco bar party.

You will need:

§  2 lbs steak ( I used flank, but you can use any cut you choose)

§  1 medium yellow onion, chopped
§  4 cloves minced garlic
§  2-3 tomatoes, chopped
§  1 pepper (any color), chopped
§  Extras (whatever you have in fridge that will work, jalapenos, peppers, etc.
§  1 4oz can of fire roasted diced green chilies
§  1/3 cup beef broth
§  Juice of 2 limes
§  3 tbs chili powder
§  2 tbs cumin
§  1 tbs granulated garlic
§  1 tsp cayenne pepper
§  Salt and pepper to taste




Instructions

1.        Rinse off your steak and pat it dry.
2.        Mix together chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Liberally cover steak both sides.
3.        Chop up your onions, tomatoes, peppers and extras.
4.        In the bottom of your crock-pot, add your beef broth.
5.        Place your steak on top of the broth and cover your steak with the onion, tomatoes, peppers, garlic and green chilies.
6.        Add in your lime juice, pouring it evenly over the whole mixture.
7.        Set your crock-pot on a low setting and allow to cook for 6-8 hours.
8.        Once it is done, shred your beef by using two forks. It should shred very easily.
9.        Serve up on a tortilla or lettuce wrap with your favorite sauces and toppings!

Enjoy!
