Notes
- The toppings are not included in the nutritional information for this tacos.
- Cooking on low for 6-8 hours is crucial as it gently tenderizes the meat without drying it out. If pressed for time, a high setting for about 3-4 hours could work, but the texture is best on low.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
