Notes
You can also cook on High for 5-6 hours, but cooking on LOW is best for more tender meat.
Chili selection: If you can't find guajillo or ancho chilies, you can substitute with a combination of dried chipotle and New Mexico chilies for a similar flavor.
Refrigerate any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days. You can also store the leftover assembled tacos in an airtight container but they will get soft and less crispy as they store.
