Carne Asada Crock Pot Tacos
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:
