Mexican tacos are a succulent meat filling with sauce and fresh vegetables, served in small corn tortillas, which are then folded and eaten with the hands. For the meat filling, simmer a whole chuck roast in sauce in a slow cooker. This cut is ideal for long simmering, after which the meat easily shreds along the grain with a fork. First, sear the seasoned meat on all sides until golden brown, then continue simmering it in a Mexican green salsa made from tomatillos and green chiles. Shred the cooked meat with forks and serve on tortillas with herbs, avocado, and tomatoes.
