This slow cooker beef tacos recipe is from page 138 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. This easy recipe leaves the hard work to the slow cooker. Simply pop in the taco filling ingredients in the morning and it’ll be ready to serve by dinner time, spooned into taco shells and finished with your favourite toppings. I love the fact that you can make this recipe your own. You can use more or less spices, or use minced lamb or pork instead of beef. Feel free to mix up the toppings, too. It’s a great sharing meal for the whole family without the stress.
