Easy Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chilli Tacos
Easy Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chilli Tacos
Nothing hits the spot like rich, slow-cooked chilli tacos, and this Tex-Mex double-decker version takes comfort food to an elite level. We take tender diced beef and simmer it low and slow with our chilli con carne sauce, dark chocolate, and a spoonful of our smoky chipotle paste until thick, dark, and packed with irresistible depth.
The real magic happens with the taco build: a crunchy taco shell wrapped inside a warm soft tortilla, held together by a layer of gooey melted cheese. Spoon that rich beef filling straight into the centre, then top with creamy avocado sauce, chipotle salsa, fresh red onion, and cilantro. These chilli tacos combine soft, crunchy, cheesy, and smoky textures into one glorious bite - making them an effortless crowd-pleaser.
-
500g diced beef mince
-
1 jar Chilli Con Carne Sauce
-
1 tsp Chipotle Paste (for extra heat)
-
2 squares dark chocolate (70%+)
-
1 cup beef stock
-
1 pack Soft Taco Wraps
-
1 pack Crunchy Taco Shells
-
150g shredded Cheddar & Mozzarella
-
Avocado Sauce & Chipotle Salsa (optional)
-
Finely diced red onion, fresh coriander, serrano chillies & lime wedges (optional)
-
Slow cook the chilli: Brown your diced beef in a frying pan then add it to your slow cooker with Chilli Con Carne Sauce, Chipotle Paste, dark chocolate, beef stock, and a pinch of salt. Cook low and slow for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours or until thick, rich, pull apart and deeply caramelised.
-
Build the double-decker shell: Warm a soft taco wrap in a dry skillet over medium heat and cover evenly with shredded cheese until completely melted. Press a cooked crunchy taco shell into the centre and gently fold the soft wrap up around it so the cheese bonds them together.
-
Assemble & serve: Spoon generous helpings of hot beef chilli into the crunchy shell. Top with our Avocado & Lime Sauce, Chipotle Salsa, diced red onion, fresh coriander, and a squeeze of lime!
