Instructions

Creating Easy Crock Pot Street Tacos is simple and fun! Follow these steps to make this flavorful dish:

1. Prep the Meat: Season the chicken thighs or beef roast with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano.
2. Sear the Meat (Optional): In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds extra flavor.
3. Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the seasoned meat on top.
4. Add Liquid: Pour the chicken or beef broth into the slow cooker. Add lime juice for that refreshing zing.
5. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
6. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot and mix it with the juices for added flavor.
7. Warm the Tortillas: While the meat absorbs the flavors, warm the tortillas on a skillet until soft and pliable.
8. Prepare the Toppings: Chop your desired toppings such as cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese.
9. Assemble Tacos: Serve the meat on tortillas and top with your favorites—sour cream, salsa, and whatever else you love!
