Mijo's Slow Cooker Shredded Beef

SUBMITTED BY: Kyle  PHOTO BY: nikkicarrasco 

"This makes an incredibly tender shredded beef with a Mexican flair. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the slow cooker does all the work, and it's well worth the wait. It's great on tortillas, in sandwiches, and even in soup. Go easy on the hot pepper sauce if you don't like spicy food."
