Food Recipes Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Sliders 3.5 (52) Add your rating & review Barbacoa is a style of cooking meat that originated in Mexico, which traditionally would require hours of slow-roasting and basting, but thanks to the modern kitchen miracle known as a slow cooker, you can have all the flavors at home—no fire pit required. Once it melts into fork-tender submission, you'll shred the meat and pile it onto slider buns with a quick slaw and pickled jalapeños for a kick of heat and acid. If you have leftover meat, try it tucked into tacos with pineapple and thinly sliced white onion, or piled onto nachos with avocado, cilantro, and cotija.
