Method

Prepare the Beef

Season the Beef

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Rub this mixture all over the beef.

Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Slow Cook

Transfer the beef to a slow cooker and add a little water or broth if needed. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and can be shredded easily.

Prepare the Sides

Cook the Rice

Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the rice and cooking it in water or broth until fluffy.

Heat the Refried Beans

In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the Tortillas

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Fill the Tacos

Take a warm tortilla and fill it with shredded beef, then add your choice of cilantro, diced white onions, and habanero onions.

Add Salsa and Serve

Top with green salsa and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy with rice and refried beans.
