These slow cooker Barbacoa tacos are exactly what we need for these hectic days, plus everyone loves them!
My husband and I like to garnish our tacos with homemade tomatillo salsa, cabbage, avocados and queso fresco (a mild crumbly cheese). This cheese is my absolute favorite and really helps to offset the subtle heat of the salsa and finishes off the taco quite nicely. But feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese!
