If using very lean meat, brown it in olive oil which keeps it from sticking to the skillet and adds flavor to the meat.

Heat olive oil in skillet. Brown the meat until it's about half brown, half pink.

Transfer meat to a 4 quart slow cooker. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar, and spices; stir well. Cover; cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours.

Toast corn or flour tortillas “food truck” style by heating them over a low flame, directly over a burner, on a gas stovetop. Check the tortillas often while cooking. They should only take about 10 seconds per side.

Fill the tortillas with the meat filling and top with choice of garnishes.

Serve.
