Notes

  1. Make sure you cook on low, do not take any shortcuts and cook on high, this will produce a tougher cut of meat and you want fall apart.
  2. Refrigerate the sauce for a little bit before serving, let the flavors marry.
  3. If you cant find flank steak, skirt steak can also be used.
  4. Let the meat rest in the liquid after shredding so it can soak up some flavors, if you're worried about the tacos being too juicy, double up on the tortillas!
