  1. Oh my goodness. It’s one in the morning, and I should be going to bed, but instead I’m looking at your delicious food and my stomach is grumbling – because, well, there’s NOTHING better than tacos – they’re totally one of my favorite, favorite foods! I (surprisingly!) have all the ingredients for this, and will totally be making it in the morning!

  2. I am pulling out the slow cooker so I can do this tomorrow! The instructions say something about an onion, but the ingredients don’t mention it… No matter! I’m going to leave it out because I forgot to get any at the store today. 🙂

    1. Oops! Good catch! I missed the onion in the ingredients, but I have updated the ingredients now. Thanks! 🙂

  3. My sister told me about this recipe, so I tried it. It is fabulous! I use it more for other recipes than for tacos, as we are not big taco eaters here. I plan on making this again this week; my freezer supply ran out.
