SLOW COOKER FAJITAS



Slow Cooker Fajitas image

"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."

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for fajitas, as they are relatively thin and cook quickly. You can also use chicken or shrimp if you prefer.
  • Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
  • Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat and lock in the juices.
  • Slice the meat thinly: Once the meat is cooked, slice it thinly against the grain. This will make it easier to eat and will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for fajitas include grilled vegetables, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker fajitas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
