Crock Pot Tacos


We love this taco recipe. I think it gives the packet stuff a run for its money! Obviously, we do not use the packet mix so we can control the details and avoid reactions. Another great thing about this recipe is that we make it in the crock pot! I add the meat while its still frozen so it's a great end of the week meal. I put the dial on low and let it cook all afternoon.

2 lb. frozen Ground Chuck
1 (1 lb.) Coined Frozen Okra
1 (15 oz.) Can Kidney Beans, rinsed
1 (28 oz.) Can Tomato Puree (I like Muir Glen)
1/2 Box Chicken Stock

1 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. All Spice
1/4 tsp. Cloves
1/8 tsp. White Pepper
1 tsp. Chipotle Chilli Pepper Powder
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Coriander

Salt to taste before serving

We like to use crispy corn taco shells. We top with Daiya  and plain shred coleslaw mix. Sometimes we also top with guacamole.

You could use a fresh onion cubed and toss a couple of cubed jalapenos in there too. You could also mince a clove of garlic in place of the powder. Sometimes I just gotta get it all in the slow cooker and keep going and that is how the recipe here was born!

What do you like to do for tacos?
Stay warm my loves!
