Best Ever Taco Meat Filling Uses Slow Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingresients, except salsa in slow cooker. Add just enough water to cover roast. Put lid on cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is very tender and easy to pull apart with a fork.
• Remove meat from cooker. Remove liquid in cooker and set aside. Return meat to cooker, add salsa, add enough of reserved liquid to make a taco filling the consistency you like. More or less liquid is fine. Check seasonings adding hot pepper sauce, salt, papper, etc as desired.
• NOTE: Can be used for tacos, burritos, taco salads, or in any other way you would use seasoned taco meat.

Steps:

• brown oil, meat, potato, onion, bell pepper, salt, black and red pepper (flakes), garlic powder, and cumin to a large dutch oven or big skillet -- drain if necessary.
• Add to this the rest of the ingredients, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes -- til all the ingredients are soft. Then, remove from heat, and take a potato masher or something like that, and grind the entire pot to a mushy consistency -- VERY IMPORTANT STEP. Once it looks like thick oatmeal, cover, and simmer for another 30 minutes and stir to keep from sticking --.
• * The beans in this recipe is a product found in Texas grocery stores, but all it is, is canned, cooked, whole pinto beans in a Mexican chili powder sauce. The addition of the beans is important to keep the mixture thick. To improvise, add a can of plain canned pinto beans, don't drain, and add a tablespoon or to taste of just plain old Mexican chili powder -- It really adds another dimension of flavor with the cumin.
