Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

I love fajitas! I usually make the fajita components on the grill, but sometimes it is nice not to go out in the heat and make it hotter by tending a hot grill. On rainy days, I can make fajitas indoors on my stovetop grill, but what I sometimes do if I am not feeling to do either, I use my slow cooker. The meat comes out super tender and it is nice to throw everything in the slow cooker all at once. The best part is that the slow cooker won’t heat up my kitchen.

Ingredients

Instructions

Coat the flank steak with the fajita seasoning. Rub into the meat.

Place the flank steak in the slow cooker with the garlic. Set the slow cooker on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

Remove the flank steak and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the flank steak on the bias and place it back in the slow cooker.

Add the vegetables on top of the meat. Slow cook for 1 more hour.

Build fajitas with the meat, vegetables and desired toppings.

Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

Flank steak always comes out tender and juicy in the slow cooker. The flavorful spices infuse the beef with a wonderful flavor that can't be beaten! Place the beef in the crock pot or instant pot before you leave for work. When you get home, add the vegetables and cook for another hour while you unwind from the day. Slice the beef and stuff it in a warm tortilla with all the toppings.
