Taco night just got a whole lot better! This slow cooker salsa verde beef tacos recipe couldn’t be any easier to prepare, and is sure to be a meal your family asks for again and again. You know what a sucker I am for good slow cooker recipes, especially the simple ones.
Over the years I’ve poured a lot of different ingredients over top a beef roast – everything from Thousand Island dressing to Coca Cola. Salsa is one of my favorites, especially salsa verde. I love me some tomatillos.
You can use corn or flour tortillas for these tacos, although the corn tortillas are my favorite.
These slow cooker beef tacos are the BOMB.
