Beef Tostadas/Tacos image

I found this recipe on the parents.com website and decided to try it for my family. Although I couldn't find tostada shells, I substituted taco shells. With 2 kids, probably made for easier eating anyway. My family loved this and have requested I make this again! We also added Sour Cream and although I didn't have any guacamole, I think it would be a great addition to this recipe. Fix them up which ever way suits your taste. The meat is delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs boneless beef round steak
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, onion, chili powder, cumin and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker. Place beef on top and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
