Tips

  • Beef: You can use a similar cut of beef, like an arm roast or a rump roast. 
  • Taco seasoning: You can use packets or make your own with this taco seasoning recipe
  • Salsa: You can use mild, medium, or hot depending on how much heat you’d like your tacos to have. 
  • Beef broth: I like to use reduced-sodium broth in this recipe. You can use no salt or regular broth or stock if you prefer. 
  • Serving suggestions: I have a section with topping ideas and serving suggestions just below.
