Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Carne Asada
I found this marinated gem at Whole Foods, and I’ll be honest I was skeptical because I normally buy my carne asada at a Mexican meat market. But, the price was right, and I am obsessed with cilantro lime anything, so I decided to give it a shot! Santo Dios AKA OMG!!! It was such a tender and moist cut of meat! I shredded it and then made carne asada tacos!

The best part is that the meat creates so much juicy goodness, so save it for when you need to reheat it! Simply add into a large oven safe casserole and cover with foil, reheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for roughly 25 minutes.
