Slow Cooker Brisket Tacos
This slow cooker brisket tacos are the simplest guilty pleasure meal. You'll buy a small brisket, throw it in the crockpot with a packet of taco seasonings and other spices, let it simmer all day, once your meat is nice and tender you'll broil it stuffed in some corn tortillas with a mix of cheeses. So simple and so delicious. I served them with salsa and an avocado cilantro sauce. Allen seriously ate like 10 of these. They are that good.
