Slow Cooker Mexican Pot Roast Tacos

This is a great recipe for a busy day, just put it in the Slow Cooker and its all ready at the end of the day.  I really was surprised to find a Mexican Pot Roast Taco recipe in Canada, but that is where I found it.  My assignment for the Secret Recipe Club this month took me to Canada to Janes Adventures In Dinner .  Jane is a proud Canadian who began her blog while on maternity leave and has continued to chronicle her life.  Her site is dedicated to her journey enjoying the life she has been given.  I really enjoyed my visits to Janes Blog and found many recipes that I would enjoy.  Today I am sharing her Slow Cooker Mexican Pot Roast Tacos. Be sure to stop by to see her and tell her Miz Helen said Hi!
Jane describes her recipe like this:
I've got two small roasts of beef: 1 tsp. crushed chilles, 1 (32oz) can of diced tomatoes, dash of Worcestershire, 1 heaping tsp. of dark cocoa powder, 2 T cumin, 2 T. chili powder.  Cook on high for 6.5 hours in the slow cooker and serve with very good friends, salsa, shredded cheese, rice spiked with chili powder, stir fried peppers, guacamole sour cream and homemade tortillas.
