Carnitas Tacos From Heaven

Yesterday I visited the human roommate who was conducting a food demo at Whole Foods.  I went to the hot foods bar to get lunch and saw a taco bar.  I grabbed two carnitas tacos and went on my way.  They were pretty good, but I wanted more tacos with my own seasoning.  Both the human roommate and I had to work today, so slow cooked carnitas tacos needed to happen

Ingredients:

For the meat:
1.5 lbs of a very cheap cut of beef (if you are slow cooking it why spend big bucks)
1 tbsp of taco seasoning
1 yellow onion
1 cubanelle pepper (a bell pepper would work too)
3/4 c of salsa
salt and pepper

 Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours

For the shell:
12 soft corn taco shells


For the toppings:
Avocado Tomato Heaven (see recipe below)
Pickled tomatillos
Shredded cheddar, as always, buy the block of cheese and use a grater, it is worth it


Avocado Tomato Heaven:
2 cloves of garlic
1 ripe avocado diced
1 Roma tomato diced
1 tbsp garlic hot sauce
2 green onions diced
salt and peppper

mix all ingredients in a bowl and serve


Oh yeah, and for dessert we are having grilled peaches with balsamic.  The human roommate forgot to buy ice cream.  :(
