INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 Mix spices and salt in a small bowl. Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season evenly on all sides with spice mixture. Heat oil in a large frying pan or slow cooker on SAUTÉ function. Working in batches, add beef to pan in single layer. Cook 5 minutes undisturbed. Turn beef chunks; cook 2 minutes longer or until browned. Transfer to slow cooker insert ( if needed) and repeat until all beef chunks are browned.
  • 2 Add water and onion to pan, scraping to remove any brown bits from bottom. Pour into slow cooker with beef and stir to mix. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 – 6 hours or until beef is tender and shreds easily.
  • 3 Transfer beef to a large bowl. Shred using 2 forks. Add Hot Sauce and about ½ cup of the cooking liquid from slow cooker, stirring to mix well. Divide beef between tortillas. Top with Pico de Gallo and sliced avocado. Serve with coriander, lime wedges and additional Hot Sauce, if desired.
