Shelly's Crock Pot Carne Asada
1 1/2 lbs. Pre-Marinated Carne Asada (I used Trader Joe's but most meat departments carry)
1 cup Salsa
1 Yellow Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, sliced
1 cup Bell Peppers, sliced (I used combo red, yellow, green)
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained
1/2 cup Corn (I used canned Mexicorn)
Toppings:
Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese

Saute meat till browned on high heat. I put it on the grill (stovetop, electric or outdoor) for a few minutes till slightly browned. Remove and place in crock pot. Saute onions till golden. Add garlic cook 1 minute more. Pour into crock pot. Add salsa, peppers, beans, and corn. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Top with Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese, Sour Cream, and/or Avocado.
