I don’t know about you but slow cooker meals have a special place in my heart. Especially on those busy weeknights when everyone has somewhere to be and you have just a little time to get dinner on the table and eat dinner as a family.
Tacos are normally an easy family dinner to throw together, but sometimes doesn’t quite hit the spot. Well, you will not be saying that with the DELICIOUS slow cooker steak tacos. It is packed with flavor, and so simple to put together you would have thought you were in the kitchen over the stove all afternoon.
And don’t even get me started on the AMAZING chipotle aioli sauce that goes with the tacos. That in itself deserves some spotlight but put it all together, it’s a little slice of heaven.

For this recipe, start by getting your slow cooker out and spraying the inside with your nonstick cooking spray.
Then, take the flank steak and place it into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Next, you are going to pour the jar of salsa, diced tomatoes (not drained), cumin, and the chili powder on top of the steak in the slow cooker.
Stir everything together until it is all mixed together well, then turn the slow cooker on and cook the steak on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
While that cooks it is time to make the chipotle aioli for the tacos.
Get out your blender and add in the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle chiles, fresh cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, fresh lime juice, and salt and pepper to your liking.
After you do that, turn the blender on and blend everything together until it becomes a smooth sauce and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for later.
When the meat is completely done cooking, mix everything together shredding the steak as you go.
Then, scoop the meat into the flour or corn tortilla shells and top it off with your favorite toppings and drizzle the chipotle aioli over top!
