What kind of meat to use

London broil is not a cut of meat but a cooking method, where the meat was broiled and then sliced very thin. The actual cut of meat used for London broil is top-round or flank steak. So if you can't find a package of meat labeled "London broil" it's perfectly fine to use those cuts instead!

These cuts of meat come from a tougher part of the animal so they are usually very affordable compared to other cuts of beef. Because London broil can be tough it is usually marinaded before being cooked, but I decided to cook it in the slow cooker instead.

This method is much more hands off and you don't have to bother with a separate marinading step.

Substitutions

London broil. Flank steak, top round, or shirt steak can all be used in place of London broil in this recipe.

Adobo sauce. Adobo seasoning, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, chipotle peppers, or ancho chile paste are great alternatives.

Rotel. Use fresh or canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and green chilies instead of a can of Rotel.

Lime juice. Can use lemon or orange juice instead if you prefer.

Variations

Make it with chicken. If you enjoy chicken over beef, feel free to use chicken breasts or thighs instead! Make sure to adjust the cooking time so that the meat doesn't overcook.

Make it spicy. Feel free to make these London Broil tacos extra spicy by cooking the meat with cayenne pepper, chopped jalapeno peppers, or hot sauce.

Make burritos or a taco bowl. Shred the meat to make cheese burritos or make a taco bowl with white rice, diced tomatoes, cheese, beans, and guacamole.

Some additional tips for assembling a taco:

• If you are using hard-shell tacos, you may want to add a little shredded lettuce or cheese to the bottom of the taco to prevent the shell from breaking.
• To prevent the taco from falling apart, you can add a little bit of guacamole or refried beans to the bottom of the taco, which will act as a glue to hold everything together.
• If you are using soft tortillas, you can double them up to prevent the filling from leaking out.
