If you haven't you should!!!!

Have I ever told you that my family loves some Mexican food. My kids will eat anything with cheese and sour cream on it, and I love avocados.. I found a new way to make Fajitas guess how yes if you said the crockpot you would be correct. I get the meat going in the morning, and then can head out for fresh ingredients at some point during the day, after work or after picking up kids from school.


The Ingredients. Are as followed....

2 lbs of thin cut stir fry beef (you could use chicken)
1 or 2 packets of fajita seasoning mix (I said one or two because I've found that it's awfully spicy if I use 1 packet per pound of meat as directed on the label--use what you think is right for your family. Make sure to read labels carefully if GF. I stick to McCormick for their clear labeling.)
1 onion
2 bell peppers (I used 1 orange, 1 yellow)
1/2 cup of water

The Directions.

Dump your meat into the crockpot. It can be frozen or thawed. Cut the onion and the peppers in strips, and add to the crock. Add the seasoning and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or high for 6. The meat is done when it reaches desired tenderness. I like to cook on low for as long as possible, because it seems to have more flavor.
Serve with your favorite fajita fixens'. We really like squeezing some fresh lemon over the top of the meat before doctoring it up but all I had this time was some lime.

The Verdict.

This is a family favorite. We make fajitas often, and always use the crockpot. I can't imagine taking the time to brown the meat on the stove and then let it simmer in the fajita seasoning until it's tender enough.After I found this great way to coook them..
