Slow Cooker Cholula Shredded Beef Tacos

How to make the BEST beef tacos!

It's not a big secret, I'm a huge fan of Cholula.  This delectable Mexican hot sauce goes with anything and everything and I'll eat my weight in it weekly (#noshame).

It's especially yummy on tacos and that's why you'll see photos of hot sauce doused ones all over my Instagram account most every Tuesday.  Any chance I have to eat tacos, with Cholula, I'll take it!

Easy dinner:  shredded beef tacos in the crockpot!

Back to the post, this recipe for crock pot tacos is perfect for my life right now, since I've been so busy with packing up a full house and, to be honest, cooking dinner is the last thing on my mind.

Whenever I find myself with no time to cook, nothing is easier than getting out the crock-pot, throwing in some meat, veggies, and seasonings, turning it on and forgetting about it for the next 6-8 hours until dinner is magically ready.  It's practically like having a personal Chef in your home!

Slow Cooker Cholula Shredded Beef Tacos

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 ⅓ 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 ½ cup but then I figured people might like to taste the beef in this dish so I cut it down to a ⅓ 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.

    omgomgomg.....I die. You KNOW Mexican food is my weakness, girl! You just can't do this to me at 11:06 p.m.!!! I want these NOW! I will bathe in cholula with you...and then I will eat one after another of these tacos like I was born wearing a sombrero and know the business of a good tortilla. I really need to stop visiting your blog at the end of the night when I'm clearly hungry and have already brushed my teeth. If only you were moving 2 min away from ME....

    Congratulations on your new home, Karrie! Do you know that we will practically be neighbors...roughly 1 hour apart..at least that's what Google is telling me? I can theoretically drive up and help you unpack (But I won't. That just sounds creepy. I'm really not stalking you). But I can help you finish off these awesome tacos! The radishes are a nice touch, providing great flavor as well as looking so pretty and dainty. I am having a serious taco attack looking at these right now! Yum!

    Please, please, please cancel your plans and move to NC instead!! Can you imagine the fun girls weekends we could have with Chey?! But if that's not possible (right now at least, I'm not giving up home) then at least you've given me this crazy delicious recipe! I'm seriously doing this ASAP - I love taco Tuesday and I love me some hot sauce. I haven't tried Cholula (gasp, cry, faint) but only because my husband is so partial to Crystal, having gone to school in New Orleans. I'll have to buy a bottle and try it on the sly Or use it in this recipe and he won't ever know! Pinning and yumming and mouth watering already

      Would love to move to NC! I love Crystal hot sauce too and always have that in the pantry. You have to get Cholula for Mexican stuff. It's more of a layering spicy flavor than just a straight out hot sauce. Does that make sense? Definitely get it and try it!

I picked up some different flavours of potato chips the other day (red curry, sriracha, and maple bacon) and thought of you, lol. Yaaay for potato chips...hey, they might even be a great side for when I make these delicious tacos! Have a great weekend, girlie!

I've got the extension cord and driveway all ready to go and brewing season is right around the corner. Oh well, I guess I can't argue with being 30 minutes from Boston and exactly 2 minutes door to door from college besties. I'll have to console myself with some of these awesome personal chef slow cooker tacos!
