I used a lot of onions in mine ut the recipe only calls for 1 onion diced. add the onions, garlic, Beer, lemon, chili powder, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, and onion powder. Cook at high for 4-6 hours and low for 8-10 hours (until you can tear it apart with your fork).

Serve!

Serve with tortillas, and your favorite fixings :) if you want them to have a little crisp to them place them on a oven pan and broil them until they are golden brown!!!
