Ingredients

    2 lbs Flank Steak (other cuts can be substituted but flank steak is best)
    1 yellow onion, chopped
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 seeded jalapeno, chopped
    SPICE RUB:
    2 tsp chili powder
    1 tsp cumin
    ¼ tsp onion powder
    ¼ tsp garlic
    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
    1 tsp salt
    ½ tsp black pepper
    FOR SERVING:
    corn tortillas
    avocado slices
    cilantro
    your favorite salsa
    limes

Instructions


    Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your flank steak. Place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot.
    Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeno pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours.
    After 8 hours, remove meat from crock pot and shred with a fork. It should be incredibly easy to shred. You can either stick the shredded meat back in the pot for another hour or serve as is.
    To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon some carnitas on a tortilla then top with salsa, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
