When I made this, it was good; I like to use my cast iron grill that I have just for my homemade flour tortillas.

There is just something authenic about hearing your meat and peppers sizzling.

So take this recipe and make it your own and use your spices that you like

Fajitas For Cinco De Mayo-CP

?

The Ingredients

serves 4 to 6

?

2 to 3 pounds 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 avoiding gluten. I stick to McCormick for their clear labeling.)

1 onion, peeled and sliced

2 bell peppers, seeded and sliced (I used 1 orange, 1 yellow)

1/2 cup of water

?

Home Made Seasoning:

makes one packet

?

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (also called red pepper)

?

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 I don't like to chew forever.

?

Serve with your favorite fajita fixes'.

?

We really like squeezing some fresh lime over the top of the meat before doctoring it up.

?

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.

?

(because I'm lazy. ;-)? )

?

Enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!

have a wonderful weekend!
