EASY SLOW COOKER CHILI-LIME MEXICAN SHREDDED BEEF

This post contains affiliate links.

Easy Slow Cooker recipes are always a favorite. The easy chili-lime shredded beef is great plain, or for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas….you see where I’m going here? I love versatile slow cooker meats. I can throw it in the crock in the morning and then I have a whole 8 hours before I have to actually decide what we’re going to have for dinner. Leftovers? Guess you’ve got a completely different dinner for tomorrow night. I do love the slow cooker. In fact, I wrote a whole cookbook of easy prep recipes using whole, real ingredients. Soda walks the line on being a real ingredient, but I do love the way that soda flavors and tenderizes beef. It’s amazing what it does really. The sugar and carbonation break down that tough roast and produce a tender, moist, and tasty shredded beef.  It’s easy, and totally delicious.
