  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cumin

Notes

  • This recipe makes 8-10 servings; the nutrition analysis below is based on 8 servings.
  • Feel free to double up on the onion and bell pepper to create a more veggie-rich meal.
  • The meat should fall apart easily when shredded with a fork. If it feels tough, it needs extra time cooking. (Try keeping it in the slow cooker for an extra hour).
