Easy, Flexible, Crock Pot Tacos

If your house is anything like mine in the summer you NEVER know who is going to be home for dinner and who is not, or even better who is going to bring over a friend or four! My kids do that and I am not complaining by any means, but I am having to get creative with meals. I need them to be simple, quick, and really good. I mean I want the boys friends to want to come back! I love that our house is a grub hub for them. Do you want to know why? Because what happens when you eat? You talk! It is such a beautiful thing-especially when you have teenagers!

Graeme was VERY happy with this recipe!

So Tuesday Trey was flying and I knew I would have Graeme for sure, but had no idea about the others. Graeme TOTALLY digs taco Tuesday so I knew I had to do something or we would be going to Taco Bell. I decided to get creative and try something that I could make a lot of and it would keep all week. I have to say it turned out pretty darn good. I would love if you gave it a try and let me know your thoughts. Even if it is bad, I love hearing from you!

Summer Tacos/taco bowls

INGREDIENTS:

2-3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil will work too

1 chopped onion

3-4 tablespoons crushed garlic in the jar or 2-3 cloves garlic minced

1 lb ground beef

1 can enchilada sauce

1 can black beans

1 can rotel with lime juice

Cooked rice

flour tortillas and hard taco shells

avocado

romaine lettuce

cilantro

sour cream

shredded cheese

jalapeno

PREP:

For this recipe I used a crock pot and let it marinate all day in the crock pot. So stinking good!

In a pan heat your oil on medium heat and add your onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Add your ground beef and brown it.

Pour your meat mixture into your crock pot and add your enchilada sauce, beans, and rotel. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.

About 15 minutes before time to eat, cook your rice.

When you are ready to eat EVERYONE has options. You can do soft tacos, hard tacos, or taco bowls for those of us trying to be a little more health conscious. Whatever your choice add your meat mixture and garnish your taco or bowl your way. If you do a bowl start with the rice and then add your meat and top.

That is it! Super Easy! Super Good! Super flexible for everyone in your family! My kind of meal! 

Bon Apetit!
