Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 pound beef flank steak
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)

Flavorings

  • 1 cup salsa (I prefer mild but you can also use medium, plus extra for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Vegetables & Toppings

  • 8 ounces frozen bell peppers and onions (one of the stores I shop at calls it “fajita mix”)
  • 16 flour tortillas (warmed)
  • 1 avocado (sliced, optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions 

  • Slice steak and chicken into strips. Place meat into slowcooker.
  • Add salsa, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt.
  • Stir well to combine. Cover and cook on LOW 5-6 hours.
  • About ½ hour before serving, add frozen onion and bell pepper mixture until warmed through.
  • Serve meat and vegetable mixture in warmed flour tortillas. Top with optional avocado, cheese, sour cream and/or extra salsa, if desired.

Notes

For spicier fajitas, use medium or hot salsa and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
