Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

These Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic Tex-Mex favorite with minimal effort. The slow cooking process ensures that the steak becomes incredibly tender, soaking up all the flavors from the spices, peppers, and onions. Whether you’re serving these fajitas for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together, the combination of juicy steak, sweet bell peppers, and aromatic onions wrapped in a warm tortilla is sure to please. Top them with your favorite garnishes like guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for a vibrant and flavorful meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. In a slow cooker, layer the sliced steak, bell peppers, onions, and garlic.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the steak and vegetables.
3. Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over everything. If you prefer a saucier fajita, pour in the diced tomatoes.
