It's a dreary and windy day, the leaves our neighbors never rake :-{ are blowing around and dancing about in the air. Lake Michigan is on a flood warning from Superstorm Sandy until early evening and the waves are more like an ocean instead of a lake. It seemed like a perfect day to make Slow Cooker Fajitas.
Here's how I made them...
Sprinkle your flank steak with Fajita Seasoning Mix, I made mine from scratch (recipe below) or you could use a seasoning packet. Set your slow cooker to low for 8-9 hours (5-6 on high).
For a fresher taste, I saute my onion/green peppers on the stove top, but you could add them to your slow cooker with the beef.
I like to "warm" my tortillas over an open flame before filling.
I served with Mexican a Couscous Salad I'll share tomorrow. The Fajitas were so tender and flavorful. There was enough for hubs and I to have for lunch tomorrow. Yummy!!!!!
