~Home Cooking For Six + One~: Spicy Barbacoa Soft Tacos

????????My little one is set?to arrive this week. I will probably post for the first part of this week and then have to take some time off. With the end of school this week as well as the birth of my new little boy...I will be busy. I wanted to leave you with some great and tasty recipes and hopefully I will see you soon.????
??????? Oh dear "Bev Cooks" is at it again. Some tasty recipes are being created over there. Just look at her picture....who could turn this down?! My husband loves Mexican food. One of the best things about this recipe is..it is a crock pot recipe. Summer time is a great time to bring out your slow cooker. You can get wonderful flavors, without turning your oven on and heating up your house. A BIG thanks to Bev Cooks. Beautiful picture and a tasty recipe.

Spicy Barbacoa Soft Tacos
2 pounds beef chuck roast (any major fat trimmed)
1 (7 oz) can chipotle peppers in their adobo sauce
1 Tbs. cumin
1 Tbs. chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs. Mexican oregano
8 spinach flour tortillas (or whatever you want!)
1 cup fresh salsa
2 ears corn
1 tsp butter
1 tsp garlic salt
2 avocados
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
juice from 1/2 lime
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
????????????? Place the beef, chipotle peppers in their adobo sauce, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and Mexican oregano into a slow cooker. Throw in a pinch of salt and pepper too. Turn it on medium and cook for 6 hours. Flip the meat every 2 hours or so. During the last hour, take two forks and shred the meat, right there in the pot. Close the lid and let it finish cooking. You have NO IDEA how good your life smells right now.
??????????? Heat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high. Smear the butter over the corn and sprinkle with garlic salt. Grill until the corn has blistered on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill and cut the kernels off the cobs.
???????? Mash the two avocados in a bowl. Toss in the cilantro, lime juice, another pinch of salt and mash mash mash. Gauc, there you go.
Heat the tortillas in the oven or microwave.
Arrange some of the amaaaazing spicy barbacoa in the center of each tortilla. Top with guacamole, salsa and grilled corn. Garnish with cilantro and another squeeze of lime.
