Time 10h10m

Yield 8 tacos, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steaks or 1 1/2 lbs sirloin tip roast, all visible fat removed
3 cups chopped sweet onions or 3 cups yellow onions
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 fluid ounces dry red wine (regular or nonalcoholic)
4 ounces reduced sodium ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
6 garlic cloves, minced or 1 tablespoon instant minced garlic
2 teaspoons low-sodium beef bouillon cubes
2 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
1/2 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar or 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
64 inches fat-free flour tortillas or 8 low-fat flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Put meat in slow cooker.
  • Add onions and bell pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together wine, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, bouillon granules, bay leaves, liquid smoke, ½ tsp cumin, hot pepper sauce and pepper.
  • Pour wine mixture into slow cooker, cover tightly and cook on low setting for 9 hours, or until meat is tender.
  • Shred meat using two forks, and return it to slow cooker.
  • Discard the bay leaves.
  • Add ½ tsp cumin and sugar; let mixture stand for 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.
  • Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  • Spoon the meat mixture along the center of a tortilla.
  • If you want to add garnishes such as chopped tomatoes, salsa, shredded lettuce, cheese and sour cream, do it now.
  • Roll and repeat with remaining tortillas.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Skirt steak, flank steak, or hanger steak are all great options for soft tacos. These cuts are relatively inexpensive and cook quickly, making them a great choice for a weeknight meal.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro, or you can get creative and try something different.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help to make the beef more tender and easier to chew.
  • Warm the tortillas: Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to fold.
  • Load up the tacos: Don't be afraid to load up your tacos with all your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Beef soft tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give beef soft tacos a try.
