One of my favorite Pins — EVER!

I found this recipe a few months ago and have put it into my regular dinner rotation ever since. It is crazy easy – and the flavor is so good it is shocking! The original recipe called for 3 ingredients and I can attest, those 3 ingredients are in fact enough! But, in an effort to make it “my own” and add some addition volume to the meal, I have made a few adjustments that work very well.

First, I add a few more things to the slow-cooker, some garlic salt, garlic and onion.

Next — the real show stopper: my Flash-Pickled Jalapeño Slaw. I urge you not to skip this step – it’s so delicious it will blow your socks off…or curl your eyelashes. The heat of the jalapeño is left out by removing the veins and seeds, unless you get one of those rare stubborn jalapeños that wants to launch a surprise attack and light you up.  The sweetness added to the bright & tangy vinegar, the bit of salt, the crunch and color of the veggies — really, where has this slaw been all of my life?! It really completes the verde tacos in such a way that I can’t imagine them being apart ever again.

Last, I added the sticky Asian rice. It fills up the soft taco tortilla well and soaks in all of the extra juices from the verde beef and the slaw. Magic happens in the rice I tell ya!

I have had several people ask “Where do you get uncooked tortillas?” — I have found these tortillas ((pictured above)) at Wal-Mart in the refrigerator section, usually by the queso fresco. They are not carried at every Wal-Mart, which is frustrating because it is such as excellent product. So if you can’t find them at one store, try another. You may wonder to yourself if these tortillas and the extra effort of cooking is worth it. The answer is a whole-hearted ‘YES!’. There are several reasons and taste is at the top of the list. But, since this post is about “my most favorite pin ever”, I will save the full explanation for another day.
