Slow Cooker Cantina Beef and Lime Tacos

Great game day fare - SEA        HAWKS     SEA       HAWKS!!!!!!!
(serves 4-5)

3-5 lb. lean beef roast
2 med. sweet* onions
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 limes
2 cloves of garlic
2 avocados
2 T. cumin
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
6 oz. beer (light beer works best)
2 T. dried cilantro
1 T. chili powder
2 cans mild green chiles
1 pkg. corn or flour tortillas (corn works best)
5 oz. queso fresco, Colby jack, pepper jack*, or 4 Mex. shredded cheese*
2 T. salt, to taste

Rinse off your roast and place in the crock pot whole. You can sear it in a frying pan, if you want, but it is not necessary. Add 1 onion, finely chopped, the beer, dried cilantro, cumin, chili powder, 1 can of the green chiles, 2 cloves of garlic, and the juice of 1 lime. Put crock on low (5 hrs.) or high (2&1/2 hrs.)- depending on how much time you have. It is done when it is fork tender and shreds easily.When meat is ready, grate your cheese, slice up your second lime into 6 wedges, slice up your avocado, chop the cilantro, finely chop the 2nd onion, and open the 2nd can of green chiles (you can also use green taco sauce in place of the second can of chiles). Warm up the tortillas in the microwave, then take two corn or one flour tortillas, and using tongs, place a bit of the meat inside each taco shell, layer the cheese, cilantro, green chiles, onion, and an avocado slice. Top with the juice of a lime wedge. You can also add sour cream if you want, but these are good without it.

Editor's note: the Double Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding garnered RAVE reviews. And when my peeps here had some, they declared it, "SPECTACULAR!!" Mr. Peep told me he was eating it very slowly to make it last.

Have FUN watching the game today. I know I will!!!
