How to Make Easy Crockpot Fajitas
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably the low-sodium variety
- 1 (7oz) can of green chilies
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 bell peppers, any color, cut into slices
- 1 large onion, cut into slices
Directions
- Start by placing 1/2 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)
- Next, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle on top of the flank steak.
- Pour soy sauce over the top of the steak and season and spread minced garlic evenly over top of meat.
- Top with the rest of your sliced onions, green chilies and bell peppers. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours until meat can easily be shredded with 2 forks.

Hi! I want to try these for a dinner party but I leave the house too early to get back to turn the crock pot off after 5/6 hours. How long would you recommend if I cook on Low?
You could do low for 7-8 hours. Does your crockpot shut off then or switch to warm?
I’m not sure how to rate this recipe just yet. My first attempt was a disaster. Followed the recipe. Was a little skeptical about the 5 to 6 hours on high but that’s what was called for. The first couple hours it smelled great. At hour 5 it wasn’t smelling as good. Checked it and turned it off. Yes the meat was easily separated with a fork but it crumbled rather than shredded. Dry cardboard like texture. The vegetables had totally disintegrated into an unrecognizable glop. The whole pot looked more like a Sloppy Joe recipe than Fajitas. Maybe “high” on my crockpot is higher than most. In any case I think I’ll try it again on “Low”.
Yes Merlyn, every crockpot runs different. May I ask what size your crockpot is?
I would love to try this, however, flank steak has gotten so expensive since fajita’s became so popular. 1-1/2 lbs of flank steak is close to $20 and when it only feeds 4-6 people, that is just way too expensive. They look and sound delicious though! I wonder if any other cheaper cuts of meat would work?
I used 1.25 pounds of pre-cut “meat for stir fry” labeled @ the grocery store and meat ran me about $8 vs the $17 1.25pnd flank steaks. Seeing as these cuts are naturally not as tender or flavorful, I added 1/4 c of low sodium beef broth, cooked on low for 8 hours & the meat was very tender & soaked up the flavors well. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Awesome Amanda! That is a great tip for saving a some moola!
Made this tonight & it was delicious! I didn’t have a can of green chilies on hand, so I substituted a couple spoonfuls of diced jalapenos, and I added 1/4 cup of tequila. My husband raved about how good dinner was! Thank you for the recipe!
