Mexican cuisine night in your household can be both healthy and cost effective. Carne Picada is a the type of labeled beef you want to look for in your supermarket. All it is, is simply very thin slices of beef from cheaper cuts of beef. Now, you are probably wondering how this is a slow cooker meal. Well, you could make carne picada just as you would tacos on the stove top and that is how you start out, but the beef carne picada tends to be cut from are tougher cuts and if you cook it all day in the slow cooker you will come home to very tender slices of meat.

I have never seen carne picada at the meat section. Will be sure to look for it! We are doing a Mexican themed potluck at work, this would be perfect.
This looks so good. I'm always a big fan of Mexican food, especially if it involves fresh, ripe avocados.
