Creating Easy Crock Pot Street Tacos is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Meat: Season the beef chuck roast (or chicken thighs) generously with salt, pepper, and half the taco seasoning mix.
2. Add Ingredients: Place the seasoned meat in the crock pot. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and the rest of the taco seasoning mix.
3. Pour Broth: Pour the beef broth (or chicken broth) over the ingredients in the crock pot, ensuring everything is nicely covered.
4. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
5. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the meat from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
6. Return to Pot: Place the shredded meat back into the crock pot and stir to combine with the juices. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb some flavors.
7. Warm Tortillas: While the meat absorbs the flavors, warm the corn or flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
8. Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the shredded meat mixture.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, chopped onions, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
