Tex-Mex Beef Tacos
This shredded beef recipe can be made even more slowly by using a crock pot and it also tastes better when reheated. When our kids were little, we managed to convince them that this ''slow food'' was part of their weekly ''junk food'' ration. We didn't completely fool them, but as they delighted in constructing their own tacos, the mutually beneficial arrangement proved very pleasing to all.
