ingredients

1 1/2 pound beef chuck roast, trimmed of any excess fat
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup water
1 package (1.25 ounce size) taco seasoning mix
1 bottle (16 ounce size) taco sauce
1 can (7 ounce size) chopped green chiles

Taco Toppings

directions

Place the chuck roast in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the onion slices.

In a bowl or measuring cup, stir together the water and taco seasoning until the seasoning dissolves. Pour over the chuck roast.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the beef is tender. Remove the meat from the crock pot and place on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks and place in a bowl.

Add the taco sauce and green chiles to the beef. Mix well.

Warm the taco shells as directed on the package.

Fill taco shells with the shredded beef mixture and top with desired toppings. Serve immediately.
