Slow-Cooker Beef Barbacoa image

I love this beef barbacoa because the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is smoky, slightly spicy and so flavorful. It's an amazing alternative to ground beef tacos or even pulled pork carnitas. It's also versatile. You can have a soft taco bar and let people make their own-or offer mouthwatering Mexican pizzas or rice bowls. -Holly Sander, Lake Mary, Florida
