Slow Cooker Ground Beef Tacos

How to make Slow Cooker Ground Beef Tacos Recipe - If your home is anything like ours, taco night happens regularly. I love preparing this recipe in the morning and letting it simmer all day in the slow cooker while enjoying the aromas that fill the air. Cooking taco meat in the slow cooker really gives a nice slow-cooked restaurant quality taste to your tacos. If you are short of time, this recipe is great prepared on the stovetop as well. Top your tacos with shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and Teedo’s Famous Salsa. Serve with my Spanish Rice.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped white onion
1⁄4 cup chopped mini sweet peppers
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1⁄2 cup prepared mild salsa
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 to 10 tortillas of choice
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream

Method:
1. Heat a slow cooker on the low setting.

2. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sweet peppers and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat until browned. Drain the fat from the pan if necessary. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and add the tomatoes, salsa, lime juice, cumin, and cilantro and stir to combine. Simmer on low until ready to serve, at least 2 hours. Serve in tortillas and top with the lettuce, cheese, and sour cream.
