Yummy soft tacos, who doesn’t love a good soft taco recipe? These soft tacos were made with a delicious Carnitas filling that we made in the slow cooker. It’s nice and easy to do, I put the meat in the Crock Pot
on my lunch break, and by the time I got home it was ready to eat. All we had to do was chop the lettuce, tomatoes, avacado, lime and grate the cheese!
The next time we make these tacos instead of cutting up the avocado into strips we made a delicious guacamole with the tomatoes and a bit of onion and parsley.
