I came across this recipe for slow cooker chipotle beef tacos earlier this week, and was so excited because I had a roast in the freezer that I was hoping to use this week! The best part though was having dinner made in the morning ~ it's amazing how much easier it is to stick with a menu plan when supper's already cooking for you.
This did require a wee bit more work than most of my slow cooker recipes, but it was worth it to have a different way to use Mrs. Potts! If you love Mexican you'll definitely want to also try out these Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas or Slow Cooker Taco Meat – they're one of our all time favorites and another way to keep from heating up the kitchen in the summertime!
