HOMEMADE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• For the Slow Cooker: Season roast with salt and pepper. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, minced onion, beef broth and salsa. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily.
• Remove roast to a plate and shred the meat. Discard any large pieces of fat. Return to the pot to keep warm.
• For the Instant Pot: Season roast with salt and pepper. Cut it into four large pieces and place in instant pot. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, minced onion, beef broth and salsa.

• Fried Taquitos:
• Your oil should be hot (the tortillas should sizzle immediately when you put them in).
