Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas
Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ pounds steak choose the cut you’d like – in the slow cooker anything goes
- 3 bell peppers sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- flour tortillas
- sour cream salsa, guacamole, black beans and rice for serving
Instructions
- Make a paste with the vinegar, lime juice and all of the seasonings. If it is to dry to spread, add a few drops of water until it is spreadable.
- Spread the seasoning on the steak and place the steak in the slow cooker. Add a few slices of onion on top.
- Allow the slow cooker to cook on high for 4 hours.
- There are a few ways to do the veggies. You can toss them in the last hour of cooking time. Do not toss them in at the beginning or they will be mushy.
- I prefer to add some minced garlic and olive oil and a bit of the fajita seasoning to a skillet on the stove and toss the veggies in over high heat until sizzling loudly and showing signs of some black.
- Serve with flour tortillas, mexican rice, black beans, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
