    Mexican Shredded Beef made flavorful and tender in the slow cooker. Great to serve in a rice bowl, on bolillo rolls or tortillas.

    This is a sponsored post. We will be giving away prizes donated by our sponsors in exchange for this post. The recipe and opinions are my own.

    This Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef makes a great filling for burritos or sandwiches or on top of a rice bowl. Just dump everything in your slow cooker and shred the meat just before serving.

    I make a similar recipe with Italian seasonings as well, which makes fabulous Italian beef sandwiches with some provolone and pepperoncini.
