📝Shopping list

To make crock-pot steak fajitas, you just need these simple ingredients:

Skirt steak, flank steak, or beef already cut into strips
Onion
Peppers
Diced tomatoes
Diced green chiles
Cumin
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika

🥣Preparation

First, slice steak into strips. Next, cut your peppers into thin strips. I like to use a colorful combination of red peppers, green pepper, and yellow pepper for this. Last, dice or slice your white or yellow onion.

In a small side bowl, mix together all dried ingredients to make a homemade fajita seasoning.

Divide your peppers into two equal portions. Add one portion to your slow cooker along with your beef strips and all other ingredients. Cover and cook on the low setting.

30 minutes prior to serving, stir in the remaining peppers. Allow these to just cook through and your fajita mixture is ready to serve!

↔️Substitutions

If you prefer your peppers firm, add them all toward the end of cooking rather than splitting them up. Likewise, if you prefer them on the softer side, add them all at the beginning.
There is no one best cut of beef for this easy recipe. Whole flank steak, skirt steak, flat iron steak, or even London Broil would work. I usually use what I can get for the best price.
Greek yogurt makes a great substitute for sour cream when making your fajitas.
This recipe is for mild fajitas. Turn up the heat by using hot, diced chili peppers.

😉Hints & hacks

Freezing leftovers in meal-sized portions makes for easy subsequent reheat-and-eat meals
I always recommend the use of a slow cooker liner. Of course, this is an optional step. I like to purchase my liners in bulk for a less expensive per-piece price.
If you would rather not use a liner, start by spraying your slow cooker with a non-stick spray.
