Beef Tacos

Tacos are a regular dinner at our house hitting the menu almost weekly in one form or another.  This week we made beef tacos with a chuck roast and they did not disappoint!  We used one of our Grassy Flat Ranch Chuck Roasts in this recipe which made for a mouthwatering tender and flavorful taco, even your favorite taco shop would have a hard time competing with these!
