You really can’t go wrong with tacos any day of the week- no matter how you make them. These CrockPot Carne Asada Tacos require basically no effort on your part, and will impress any taco lover.
Living in Denver, we are immersed in a world full of tacos! There are some awesome places to get tacos around here; at a taco restaurant, at one of the awesome craft breweries or just on the side of the road in a food truck. The taco selections around here are seriously awesome! Since we can’t afford to go out for tacos every night of the week (even though I’d like to), we make our favorites at home.
Traditionally, carne asada is a marinated flank or skirt steak that is grilled to perfection and then sliced, but because I am a Mom, and don’t have a lot of time, I decided to make our carne asada in the crockpot.
I can set the crockpot in the morning, and when we get home from a busy day, dinner is just a few minutes away. Until recently, I never really appreciated the convenience of the crockpot. I always liked how easy that it made dinner, but now that Anthony and I have a lot more going on, and I have finally started working out so we’re home late and tend to be eating out more and it’s getting expensive. I feel like there is going to be a lot more crockpot meals in my future, and shared with you!
