  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp beef tallow
  • corn tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Mix Taco Seasoning:

    In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook Rabbit in Slow Cooker:

    Place rabbit, salsa, and the prepared taco seasoning into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours until the meat shreds easily.
  • Remove Bones from Rabbit:

    Gently take the rabbit out of the slow cooker and set on a plate to cool until it can be handled. Remove all bones, ensuring none remain.

    Put the deboned rabbit back into the slow cooker along with the remaining salsa and the drained black beans. Keep on the warm setting until thoroughly heated.

    Heat beef tallow (or olive oil or similar) in a skillet over medium heat. Fry a corn tortilla in the oil until it becomes slightly crisp. Turn it over, add taco meat and cheese, then immediately fold into a taco shape. Flip to warm the other side.
  • Add Toppings and Serve:

    Add any desired toppings to the taco and serve.
