Hello friends! Lately, the West Coast heatwave has me feeling very sluggish. Standing in front of a stove is the last thing on my mind. I’ve been making a good share of fresh salads, and lots of sit-down sessions with the hummus tub and pita chips. It’s hard to comprehend that Summer is close to being over but humidity is 80% where I am. It’s brutal.
I wanted something hearty, but fresh. Easy to make and loaded with vegetables. I dusted off my slow cooker, headed to my Sprouts and happily consulted at their meat counter. Their suggestion: Shredded beef. With Sprouts Farmers Market grass fed beef, I was guaranteed and a tender, juicy dish. Their beef, in this case, a nice piece of chuck roast, is fresh and never frozen. Never tough.
This shredded beef is incredibly flavorful and a little goes a long way. Besides tostadas, save some for burritos, tacos and salpicon. It’s great for feeding a large crowd and best of all, there is minimal effort on your part. The slow cooker does all the work for you!
If you opted for tostadas (great choice!), load them full with your favorite veggies. Make a killer pico de gallo and refry some beans too. Don’t forget the radishes for added crunch and a sprinkle of cheese for a touch of savory.
