Crock Pot Tacos

This recipe takes 4-8 hours to cook in the crock pot and is very adaptable to the amount and kinds of ingredients you have on hand.

Ingredients

• 1-3 pounds of boneless pork, beef or chicken
• 1 large onion
• 1/2  - 1 bell pepper
• 1-4 cloves of garlic, to taste
• 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce (more if you like it spicy) or chili powder to taste
• Salt & pepper
• Chicken, beef or vegetable broth
• Flour or corn tortillas (taco size)
• Assorted toppings (shredded cheese, chopped onions, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.)

Equipment

• Crock pot or other slow cooker
• knife & cutting board

Procedure

1. chop the garlic onion & pepper into small pieces & put them in the bottom of the Crock Pot
2. cut the meat into 2 inch chunks and put on top of the vegetables
3. chop the chipotle really small and add to the meat and vegetables. Take the seeds out before you chop it if you want it less spicy. Sprinkle all with salt and pepper
4. pour broth over the meat until everything is moistened (1/2 cup to 1 cup or more depending on how much meat there is)
5. turn the Crock Pot on, cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
6. when cooked, shred the meat with two forks (if there is a lot of broth, strain some off before shredding)
7. Serve with warm tortillas and all your favorite toppings (shredded cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, etc.)

Servings will vary depending on how much meat you started with and how big your tortillas are: about 3-6 tacos per pound of meat
