Happy Friday! I have been working on a couple of other things the last couple of weeks but I’ve got some fun and new recipes coming to the blog soon!

We all know how much I love tacos. We also know how much I love slow cooker meals! If you’re a pork lover I would recommend these Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas. If you’re craving some smoky flavored chicken, definitely go for these Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga Tacos ! Today I am introducing you to another recipe that’s a little similar in taste with these Beef Barbacoa Tacos.

The recipe contains a delicious beef roast, followed by garlic, chipotles in adobo sauce, onion, green chiles, lime juice, beef stock, apple cider vinegar, and of course the seasonings.

What I love about this recipe is that you literally place all the ingredients into the slow cooker and it does all the work for you. I think I might actually say that about all of my slow cooker recipes, but that’s why I go for them!

With the weather finally going towards fall and getting a little cooler (just a little) I will begin to think about how much I will use my dear slow cooker to make it easy on dinner (and my dishes). Extra points for being able to just walk into the house with dinner already almost prepared!

I like to top my beef barbacoa tacos with red onion and cilantro. You can also add cheese because, cheese goes well with just about any kind of taco. I love to eat them also with corn tortillas.
