Description
Simple recipe for tender beef fajitas cooked slowly in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak, sliced thinly against the grain
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 packet (1 oz) low sodium fajita seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 small flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, lime wedges
Instructions
- Place the sliced steak, onion, and bell peppers into the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix the fajita seasoning with the beef broth and olive oil.
- Pour the seasoning mixture over the steak and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir to coat everything evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Remove the steak and slice it against the grain into thinner strips, if desired. Return the meat to the slow cooker and stir with the vegetables.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions just before serving.
- Serve the beef and vegetable mixture in the warm tortillas with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the seasoning mix.
- If you do not have beef broth, you can substitute it with water or chicken broth.
- Drain off excess liquid before serving if the mixture seems too watery.
