Taco Tuesday!!! About a year ago my family started implementing it into our weekly menu. My kids loved it for about a month until you have eaten every kind of meat taco and started repeating again it can get quite monotonous .
While going through some different ideas my son mentioned to me that he really likes beef in his tacos above the other meat options. One morning when I was prepping the crock pot for some slow cooked beefy taco goodness I realized that I had neglected to pick up one of the main ingredients for the recipe I was planning to make. So in true improvisational mode I frantically was searching in the pantry for something to throw together. I found a jar of salsa verde. So the experiment began. I sliced up onion placed the beef roast on top and poured the jar of Salsa Verde over the beef and set the crock pot timer.
8 hours later immediately when you walked in the door the smell was amazing! My kids were actually excited to eat what I was cooking for once! The beef shredded so perfectly and was seasoned to perfection by the salsa verde. 3 ingredients, one crockpot, 8 hours of cooking how simplistic is that for an amazing meal!
