Easy way to serve fajitas at home, a popular dish with nearly everyone.
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ lbs skirt steak or flank steak
  • 1½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1½ teaspoons cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably the low-sodium variety
  • ¾ cup diced green chilies
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 bell peppers, any color, cut into slices
  • 1 large onion, cut into slices
  • 8-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
  1. Start by placing ½ of your onion slices on the bottom of the crockpot. Place flank steak on top of onions. (the onion ‘base” will keep the meat from drying out)
  2. Next, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle on top of the flank steak.
  3. Pour soy sauce over the top of the steak and season and spread minced garlic evenly over top of meat.
  4. Top with the green chiles and half of your sliced onions and bell peppers. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours until meat can easily be shredded with 2 forks.
  5. to 30 minutes before serving, stir in the remaining onions and bell peppers.
  6. Right before serving, transfer the steak onto a plate or cutting board and shred with a fork. Alternatively, you can cut it into thin strips against the grain. Then return the meat to the crock pot and stir it in with the onions and peppers.
  7. Serve with small flour tortillas, refried beans (I like to mix about ⅓ cup salsa into a 15 oz can of beans), shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole or sliced avocado.
  8. Enjoy!
