Slow-Cooked Steak Fajitas Recipe

Having grown up in the great state of Texas, I would suffer greatly if I were unable to eat a Mexican-style meal at least once a week. These steak fajitas go together in a snap and taste fantastic. My secret weapon is the crockpot!

Flank steak is a “pricier cut” of the cow, so the plus with this recipe is the fact that the added ingredients are usually inexpensive. That gives you a chance to serve a premium cut of meat even on a budget.

This steak fajitas recipe is also Gluten-Free if you choose a gluten-free salsa. Just check the labels.

My crockpot is a real secret weapon in the kitchen and it makes light work of meal prep. These steak fajitas come out very tender and are great in a variety of dishes.

Try them on tortillas, in taco shells, on a baked potato, or even on top of a fiesta-style salad.
