Description

Tacos don't have to be made with ground beef, use roast beef to take it up a notch. Add spices, green chilies, roasted tomatoes, tequila and lime and you have a delicious dish that isn't hard to make and goes a long way.

Ingredients

• 3 - 4 lb. chuck roast
• 3 T. olive, canola or vegetable oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin
• 4 oz. can mild diced green chiles
• 14.5oz fire roasted diced tomatoes - salsa style
• 3 T. tequila
• 2 t. chili powder
• freshly squeezed juice from 1 lime
• toppings: tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, Mexican cheese, lettuce

Steps

1. Preheat oil in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking.
2. Season roast with spices while oil is heating; place in skillet to sear 2 to 3 minutes on both sides, or until well browned. Reduce heat to low, and place roast into slow cooker on high heat.
3. Pour green chiles and fire roasted tomatoes into the skillet; stir, cooking for 2 minutes. Add tequila; cook 2 minutes. Pour over the roast in the slow cooker; place lid back on. Cook for 4-5 hours on high, or 6-7 hours on low depending on your particular cut of meat and slow cooker.
