Shredded Beef Tacos

Yum! Last week, as part of our CSA share, we recieved two onions. Now, if you know me at all, you know that I detest raw onion and wouldn't eat one if it were the last food on the planet. But, I don't mind cooked onion. So I decided to make a roast and use the onions to flavor it. When I make a roast, I just cut most the fat off, pour a bottle of beer on it, and put it in the crockpot on low all day. We intended to eat the roast on Friday, but we had friends that invited us over, so we threw it in the fridge. I had planned on roast and potatoes tonight, but then decided to make it into BBQ beef sandwhiches. Then yet again changed my mind and decided to make it in to shredded beef tacos.

You really can not ask for an easier dinner and it is so good. I just shredded it up with some of the onion and put a few tb of taco sauce in the meat just to add a little flavoring. Then we put a bit of meat on some hot grilled corn tortillas and then added the fixin's. I also used some fresh avocado to make guacamole. I just mashed it up with a fork and added enough salsa just to moisten it up. It was really really good.


I used a recipe one time for shredded beef tacos that had me add a bunch of different seasonings and so forth to the roast to make it more "southwest" I guess. It was very good, but I went to an eight of the trouble this time and I thought they were just as good!
