Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas

I have really been enjoying cooking lately.  I feel like my food has more flavor and nutrients per bite.  I've been a little biased towards 100 Days of Real Food recipes, but it's because everything I've made so far has been delicious.  You know I love the slow cooker, and this recipe does not fail to disappoint.  I have to admit that I'm still transitioning my pantry to real food, so I used traditional flour tortillas.  Otherwise, this recipe is fully non-processed.  I hope you enjoy!

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak, preferably grass fed 
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably the low-sodium variety
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 – 5 bell peppers, any color
  • 1 onion
Other fajita fixings:
  • tortillas, grated cheese, fresh sliced avocado, cilantro, lime slices, fresh spinach leaves, sour cream, hot peppers, etc.
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Mix together the dry spices with a fork including the chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper.
  2. Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the flank steak and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the soy sauce on top.
  3. Top the flank steak with the diced jalapeno and minced garlic. Slice the bell peppers and onion and throw those on top of the steak as well.
  4. Turn the slow cooker onto HIGH and cook for 5 – 6 hours or until the steak can easily be shredded with two forks.
  5. Drain the meat and peppers well then serve with the recommended fajita “fixings” (listed above).
