Slow Cooker Beef Tacos Recipe (barbacoa recipe)

I love this recipe because it reminds me of the beginning years me and Tom started living together! I obviously cooked allot but he wanted a day he could do dinner. So we made Thursdays his night to get dinner. He would proudly come through the door with a big bag of barbacoa from Chipotle. The night officially became Chipotle Thursdays because it was the same dinner. I loved those times and always looked forward to Toms face of excitement and proudness that he got dinner.

So since he is busy now and working typical fun NYC hours, I figured out how to do this at home. When we eat this we always smile over those days and how fun it was.

Slow Cooker Tip:

• Prepare everything in the slow cooker the night before.
• When you wake up take out of the refrigerator and turn on before leave for work ( I put a sticky note by my keys so I don’t forget to turn the slow cooker on)
•  Come home after along day to a hot meal waiting for you thanks to your personal chef, the slow cooker!
