Adapted from Eat Live Run
1.5 lbs flank steak
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
For spice rub:
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For serving
8 corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 cup salsa
2 limes, juiced
Directions:
1. Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your flank steak and place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot.
2. Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeño pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours.
3. After 8 hours, remove meat from crock pot and shred with a fork. It should be incredibly easy to shred. You can either stick the shredded meat back in the pot for another hour or serve as is.
4. To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon some carnitas on a tortilla then top with salsa, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serves 8 (2 tacos per serving).
Nutrition Notes: Flank Steak is a lean cut of meat so chose that cut or any cut that has “sirloin” in the name!
