"I love fajitas like they serve in Mexican restaurants, but when I prepared them at home, the meat was always chewy," explains Katie Urso of Seneca, Illinois. "Then I tried this recipe in my slow cooker, and my husband and I savored every last bite. Fresh cilantro gives these fajitas the extra punch that makes them taste truly authentic."

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN FAJITAS
I searched high and low for a great recipe for slow cooker fajitas before I came up with this. The best part for me is that I don't have to defrost the meat before I throw it in there. Also, this makes a very large batch, so it's good for big families or a crowd of guests.

SLOW COOKER FAJITA STEW
This is a great departure from the typical chicken taco soup for when I want a healthier mexican flavored dish. The tomatoes, please use your best judgement on the type of tomatoes -- I have used both the rotel tomatoes and just plain tomatoes depending on what's on hand :D But use them to the taste of your family. This is a chunky stew with a thin broth -- not thick like a chowder. Also I like to use Kathy's Recipe #28011 for the fajita seasoning! Mmmm love it! :D

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from beef and cut into 2" pieces. Combine with onion and garlic in a 4-5 quart slow cooker. Mix together fajita seasoning mix and undrained tomatoes and pour over beef. Place peppers on top. Cover crockpot and stir well. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve stew with hot cooked rice or hot couscous.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, flank steak or skirt steak are great options. They're both flavorful cuts of beef that will cook up tender in the slow cooker.
- Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the beef cook more evenly and make it more tender.
- Use a good quality fajita seasoning: You can either use a store-bought seasoning or make your own. There are many recipes available online.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the beef in batches.
- Cook the beef on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the beef to cook through and become very tender.
- Serve the beef with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include tortillas, rice, beans, guacamole, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker fajita stew is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover beef. The beef is cooked until it's fall-apart tender and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. The fajita seasoning gives the stew a delicious smoky flavor. Serve the stew with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
