The biggest thing to keep in mind that as long as you cook the meat right, the rest is just all about the toppings and corn tortillas. We love to set out a toppings bar and just let everyone dive right in.

If you use your slow cooker a lot, you know that it’s a low and slow process. But the end result of flavor? Totally worth it!
