I think it's a shame to make this using a taco seasoning mix (hence the 3 rating) and make my own blend of spices to add more than a salty flavor. Also, I shred the beef right in the crock pot, or even in a 9X13 pan, to make prep a lot less messy. You can't beat a crock pot dinner!

Most tender roast ever! This is really a good alternative to the same old ground beef taco!

Loved this. I used only about half of the seasoning and added a little bit of water.

We really enjoy this. I do a large roast, pull it out to shred and add some cornstarch to the liquids on the bottom. I return my shredded roast to the pot and toss to coat. This makes great freezer meals--just divide, bag and freeze! Defrost and reheat in a skillet with some oil, onion, tomato and bell pepper for an easy machaca beef. No additional seasoned salt is necessary at the end--there's enough salt from the taco seasoning.
