Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Steak: You will want a flank steak for these fajitas. Flank Steak when slow-cooked will come apart almost like butter to give you that amazing shredded look.
- Fajita Seasoning: This of course will be used to give you the main fajita flavoring. This can be found in the international aisle of the grocery store. You can also make your own homemade seasoning as well.
- Salt: Salt is great for bringing out all the incredible flavors of the recipe. And, with a recipe like this, you will want to taste every bit of flavoring.
- Rotel: a mixture of diced tomatoes and green chiles. This is great for adding more texture and a little spice to your recipe.
- Bell Pepper: You will need Green bell pepper, Red bell pepper, Yellow bell peppers. This is great for adding color to the recipe and of course texture and flavor.
- Flour Tortilla: Use flour tortillas to hold all of your cooked ingredients. Homemade flour tortillas are my favorite, but you can use corn tortillas if desired.
How To Make Crockpot Steak Fajitas
- Step 1. In the slow cooker, add the steak and place the onion, garlic, fajita seasoning, water, peppers, and Rotel. You can mix it slightly.
- Step 2. Place the slow cooker on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. When it comes to the last hour, either hour 3 or 7 depending on what you choose. Put the peppers into the crockpot and combine with the excess spices and liquid.
- Step 3. Take the meat out of the slow cooker and begin shredding it on a large cutting board. The meat should shred easily and be very tender. If you cooked the recipe on high, and the meat is still a bit tough, you can put it back into the crockpot and heat for another 30 minutes to an hour.
- Step 4. Put the shredded meat back into the slow cooker and mix to combine the ingredients. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to serve. This will remove any excess liquid. Serve and enjoy!
Can I Use Other Meats For Slow Cooker Fajitas?
Making steak fajitas is so delicious and it is one of my favorite recipes for dinner. However, if you have other meats you would like to try, you can. This recipe would work with pork or chicken as well.
Can I Use Corn Tortillas Instead Of Flour?
Yes, absolutely! I prefer the soft texture of flour tortillas with this recipe. However, you can definitely use corn if that is what you prefer. Another option is to ditch the tortilla for a low carb dinner.
