  2. Add the can of chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, making sure to smother the beef evenly.
  3. Cover your crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
Serving

  2. Warm up your taco shells, fill them generously with the delicious beef, and top with your favorite fresh garnishes.

Notes

For substitutions, consider using lamb or a hearty vegetable option. For best results, aim for the longer cooking time. Watch the liquid levels to avoid soupy tacos.
