Crockpot Beef Carnitas

Ingredients:

2 lbs flank steak

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 orange bell pepper, chopped

1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped

for spice rub—

2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp seasoned salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper

for serving—

corn tortillas, scallions, avocado slices, cilantro, your favorite salsa, limes

Directions:

Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your flank steak. Then, place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot. Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeno pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours. After 8 hours, remove meat from crock pot and shred with a fork. It should be incredibly easy to shred. You can either stick the shredded meat back in the pot for another hour or serve as is. To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon some carnitas on a tortilla then top with salsa, pre-portioned avocado slices, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
