Shredded beef tacos are some of the best; I prefer this method of cooking overusing ground beef in a frying pan. This is the type of taco meat you would find in your more high-quality tacos and burritos. This recipe uses a frozen rump roast, but don’t worry about using a frozen one, it will turn out fine. If you would prefer to use a fresh one, that will work as well but the cooking time will probably be less. What’s really great about this recipe is that the slower cooker pretty much does all the work. I will only include how to make the actual meat in the recipe because everything else is pretty basic. Used whichever type of taco shells you prefer, and optional condiments such as shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy.
