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

  1. 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)
  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 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.collage image showing onions in slow cooker, topped with beef, seasoning on top of beef and then topped with sliced peppers and onions

  1. Hi, do we add water to this at all? Wouldn’t the meat dry out without any water?

    1. There’s a lot of water in the veggies that will be pulled out during cooking.

  3. Made this tonight for dinner. Huge disappointment!! Could not even finish my dinner. Followed recipe but replaced steak with chicken. Threw leftovers away.

    1. I am so sorry you didn’t like this Lorie. Yeah, THIS recipe is for steak. If using chicken, cooking times and seasonings should be adjusted. If you want to try it again next time, let me know and I can give you some adjustments for using chicken.

  4. I will be trying this recipe tomorrow night with chicken instead. Reading through some of the comments, it sounds like cooking on low for a little less time and adding some chicken broth (how much?) will be good adjustments. Any other suggestions?? We have a chicken fajitas recipe I do in the oven that my whole family loves, but it is too hot to have the oven on for an hour tomorrow, so I’d love to try this instead. Help! 🙂

  5. If you cut up the meat into cubes and small strips before putting into the crockpot how long should you cook it for on high? I was thinking maybe 3 hours, but since I’ve never made this before I don’t want to mess it up.
