Want to know how to make the perfect shreddable beef for all your favorite Mexican foods (tacos, burritos, salads, enchiladas, nachos, quesadillas, etc.)? I will tell you. And you’re going to be happy, because it is sooooo easy and only takes 2 ingredients plus (hands off) time in the slow cooker.
First you get the right cut of meat. This is an important step.

can use this meat for these nachos or plenty of other recipes! Think salads,
enchiladas, burritos, tacos, etc.

you made previously over the top of the nachos and then scoop the bean mixture
over the top of the meat.

heat. Blend in the flour, salt and pepper. When the mixture is bubbly, quickly
add in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
Remove from heat and add the cheese, stirring until smooth.
