I make these Slow Cooker Flank Steak Street Tacos often and they are great as a party appetizer or dinner for the family. Beyond flavorful, it all starts with this shredded flank steak that can be used in tacos or enchiladas. I like to use El Sol Fire Roasted Salsa that has fire roasted corn, black beans and Hatch chiles.

You’ll have slow cooker magic in 6 hours and dinner is on the table in minutes after you get home. Let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting for you.

I’m excited that today’s post is sponsored by my friends over at El Sol Foods. El Sol Foods is a family owned and operated business that still uses family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.

To add that extra punch of authentic flavor to my Slow Cooker Flank Steak, I used their Fire Roasted Salsa that has fire roasted corn, black beans and Hatch chiles and serve some Fresh Homemade Salsa at the table. If you like heat, try the HOT Fresh Homestyle Salsa, it is a jump from the Medium and fantastic!

For the flank steak, I slice it lengthwise and then each strip in half. A sprinkling of chili powder and ground cumin, then some chopped onion, garlic cloves, fresh cilantro and into the slow cooker it all goes. I top it off with a 16 ounce batch of El Sol Fire Roasted Salsa poured over, close the lid and set it to cook 6 hours.

Shred the meat easily after it is cooked and cooled enough to handle. Serve with all the fixings of choice.

I like to add some shredded cheddar cheese on top of each little street size tortilla and pop it in the microwave to melt for 20 seconds. Top with shredded flank steak, more salsa, shredded cabbage, cilantro and maybe a drizzle of some Mexican Crema. A squeeze of lime and you’re set!

El Sol Salsas are great for tailgating, Football playoffs and Super Bowl parties. Whether as a dip with chips or on quesadillas and tacos, the flavor is spot on. El Sol Foods also has a new 100% Organic Certified Fresh Salsa in mild, medium and hot. There are 12 of El Sol’s fresh salsas to choose from so find your favorite!

You can find El Sol Foods on Facebook,  follow them on Twitter, Instagram and on Pinterest, too.

My go to for them is in the refrigerated section of Costco, but El Sol Fresh Salsas can be found at the fresh meat / cheese deli counters and produce sections of most markets.

    I made your slow cooker flank steak street tacos and meat turned out amazing…I’ve been looking for a GREAT taco recipe and this nailed it…thank you…I enjoy all of your Mexican cooking ideas/recommendations. 

    1. I updated the recipe plugin and it adjusted, although it does mention 6 hours 3 times in the recipe and post. Thanks for alerting me on that Gretchen! As for HIGH and 4 hours, it would work, although I find low and slow helps the connective tissues break down and the meat is super fall apart good. Let me know how it turns out!
