Beef Tacos (Crock Pot)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut in long, thin slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut in long, thin slices
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut in long, thin slices
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • avocado slices
  • cilantro, chopped
  • lime wedges
  • corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Mix together all the spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices over the steak then place the steak at the bottom of the crock pot
  2. Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers, and jalapeno pepper. 
  3. Cook on low for 6 hours (my crock pot tends to cook things a little fast so mine was done after 4.5 hours)
  4. Remove steak from crock pot and cut against the grain into thin slices (flank steak can be a tough cut of meat but when cut against the grain and in thin slices it makes it tender)
  5. Return steak to crock pot and mix with the peppers and onion (or transfer it all to a serving bowl). Mix in cilantro. 
  6. Serve on tortillas with avocado slices and lime wedges.
