Slow Cooker Zingy Beef Tacos
This easy recipe leaves the hard work to the slow cooker. Simply pop in the taco filling ingredients in the morning and it'll be ready to serve by dinner time, spooned into taco shells and finished with your favourite toppings.
Introduction from Clare Andrews
I love the fact that you can make this recipe your own. You can use more or less spice, or use minced lamb or pork instead of beef. Feel free to mix up the toppings, too. It’s a great sharing meal for the whole family without the stress. Get stuck in!
