    pounds boneless beef round steak, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/3
    cup chopped onion (1 small)
  • 1 - 2
    canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (see tip, page XX)
  • 1
    teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 6 pieces. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker place meat, undrained tomatoes, onion, chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin, and garlic.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Remove meat from cooker. Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds. Place meat in a large bowl. Stir in enough cooking liquid to reach desired consistency. Divide meat among warm tortillas, spooning it just below the centers. Top with cheese, Pico de Gallo Salsa, and, if desired, jicama and sour cream. Roll up tortillas. Makes 6 servings.

I made this for a crowd-and it was loved by all! It was a little spicy for my mom, so if I knew she was going to be eating it I'd have to cut some of the heat! But, I loved it and my husband still asks for it!
