Check Out This Recipe For Tacos That You Can Make Right In A Slow Cooker
Are you a fan of birria tacos? You know, the ones that are filled with flavorful slow-cooked meat and come with consumé on the side for dipping? As delicious as they are, they can be very time-consuming. However, one clever TikTok cook was able to figure out how to make them in less time by cooking them in a slow cooker!
“These crockpot birria tacos are far from authentic, but they are so good,” says Luke (@cookinginthemidwest), the creator of the recipe.
Luke starts off his tacos by thoroughly seasoning a chuck roast with salt, pepper, and garlic. He then sears it in a pan before placing it in a slow cooker.
Next, Luke throws some sliced onion, butter, and garlic into the pan he cooked the roast in. He cooks down the onions, butter, and garlic in some beef broth.
He then adds a bunch of yummy seasonings, including salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, black pepper, and some green chilis, to the broth.
He lets the broth mixture come to a simmer while occasionally scraping the bottom of the pan to get up all of those good bits.
Once the broth is simmering, he pours it over the roast in the slow cooker. The beef then cooks in the slow cooker for 8 hours, and then it’s time to assemble some tacos.
Luke shreds up the tender beef before laying down some Monterey jack cheese in a pan.

He then takes a taco-sized tortilla, dips it in the crockpot liquid, and places it on top of the melted cheese. He flips the tortilla before adding the beef and then folds it, and presses down with a spatula. Once everything is nice and melty, the taco is finished.
Don’t forget about the best part of birria tacos! You then serve the tacos with a side of that beautiful consumé broth that is left with the beef in the crock pot. Dip your taco in the broth before taking a bite! Even if they’re not authentic birria tacos, they look incredibly yummy.
One TikTok user commented that she made them for dinner and loved them. She also noted that she had a ton of leftovers and asked what to do with them. Luke responded that he likes to take the leftover meat and use it in taquitos.
“It’s also good over rice and freezes well,” commented Luke.
Well, now you have a new ‘Taco Tuesday’ recipe to introduce to your friends and family!
