Slow Cooker Beef Tinga

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Slow Cooker Beef Tinga). I love this spin-off on Mexican chili. Serve with warm flour tortillas, or eat in a bowl like chili, topped with fresh slices of jalapenos. Or spoon it over a warm corn tostada and garnish like a taco.
