Green Chili Beef Tacos

I'll admit it I am addicted to Pinterest and post tenzillion recipes and craft ideas but hardly ever do any of them. So before going grocery shopping last week I decided to go through my pins and pick out one recipe to make this week.

Typically we make our tacos and burritos with chicken but going through my pins I found an awesome steak recipe that would be good for tacos from Shannon Shaffer on Lifetime Moms. I tweaked it a little bit based on convenience and what we like and in the end it turned out great.

Green Chili Beef Tacos

Ingredients:
2 pounds of Beef Roast
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1 small can of green chilies
2 tablespoons Chipotle Chili in Adobo Paste*
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup of water

Directions:
1) Place Roast in Slow Cooker
2) Season Meat with black pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin
3) Blend the can of green chilies spoon in a food processor then spoon on top of the meat
4) Add Remaining Ingredients
5) Cook on Low for 8 hours
6) Shred meat and serve 

NOTES:
-Chipotle Chili in Adobo Paste - this is basically a can of Chipotle Chilies in Adobo Sauce that has been blended smooth in a food processor. I personally never use a whole can in any recipe that I have made so far so I blend up the excess throw it in the fridge and add a few spoonful's to recipes as needed
-You could really use this recipe with any meat - I planning on trying it with both chicken and pork - with that said buy whatever meat is the cheapest that day no matter the kind or cut

Copy Cat - Wingers Rebel Sauce

Image
Since getting a fryer as a wedding present - Fried Naked Wings have definitely made their place into our favorite dinner/party foods. Here in Utah we have a restaurant called Wingers that has one of the best sweet, sticky, spicy sauces that we have ever tried. Wingers does sell their original sauce at the various grocery stores in the area but being the spice lovers that we are we prefer it a little bit spicier (AKA Rebel sauce at the restaurant) which is not sold in stores. However thanks to Pinterest I have found a few copy cat recipes on  Chef in Training  and  Six Sisters Stuff  that feature the original recipe and have adjusted them into a spicier version. Copy Cat Wingers Rebel Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Hot Sauce 1 cup Brown Sugar Directions: 1) On low heat brown sugar and hot sauce until combined 2) Heat on Medium for about 5 minutes to thicken the sauce NOTES: According to both recipes you need to use Frank's Hot Sauce to get th
