Slow Cooker Carne Asada Street Tacos
Greg picked up some carne asada beef at the grocery store and requested that I make carne asada tacos. I gladly said that I would but only if I could use the slow cooker to help me. He said that he didn’t expect anything different.
We all loved these little tacos. I buy my tortillas in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. They are uncooked tortillas that you can place on a hot pan and cook within 60 seconds. They taste amazing! I like to buy the small fajita size tortillas for these street tacos. If you need to eat gluten free you can use the small corn tortillas.
Next time I’m going to have avocado or guacamole to go with these slow cooker carne asada street tacos. These tacos would be a perfect meal for the big football game on Sunday!

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make slow cooker Carne Asada Street Tacos I used my small 3 quart slow cooker.* I love this little slow cooker because it’s super cute and it’s just the perfect size for side dishes, drinks or small meals. It fits into my sink so I can easily hand wash it and it fits in the bottom or top of my dishwasher so I can easily stick it in there to get clean. I try to use this 3 quart slow cooker any time I can!

Notes
I bought a package of beef at Winco that was called beef carne taco meat. Ask your butcher for suggestions if you can’t find something similar.
I buy my tortillas in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. They are uncooked tortillas that you can place on a hot pan and cook within 60 seconds. They taste amazing! I like to buy the small fajita size tortillas for these street tacos.
Gluten free ideas: Double check your beef broth to be sure it is gluten free. Swanson’s Organic Beef Broth says gluten free and no msg right on the front of the box. Soy sauce is not typically gluten-free although Kikkoman brand makes a gluten-free soy sauce. Use the small corn tortillas.
