A healthy Mexican recipe for Taco Tuesday

I actually developed this easy dish a couple of months ago when I needed a new taco Tuesday recipe and I had a beautiful piece of grass-fed beef chuck roast from a local farm.

Chuck roast is the best kind of beef to use in a slow cooker, because it can sustain the long cooking period without drying out…and I don’t even bother with browning the meat first.  What’s easier than that?

I just put the beef roast in the cooker, added all of the dry seasonings in my homemade taco mix, then I added the pièce de résistance…a 1/3 cup of Cholula.

Yeah, that’s a lot of Cholula but that’s what a person does when you love it as much as I do.  I almost added a 1/2 cup but then I figured people might like to taste the beef in this dish so I cut it down to a 1/3 cup.

Instead of a typical pico de gallo, I topped the tacos with a salad of farm fresh radishes.  The radish salad was a perfectly crisp, fresh, and light addition to the beefy soft tacos.

So try this recipe for Slow Cooker Cholula Shredded Beef Tacos next time you need an easy dinner and don’t forget to PIN the recipe for your next Taco Tuesday!
