No need to have a screaming hot skillet, just use your slow cooker instead. These Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas will become a regular in your dinner time routine.

Skirt steak in the slow cooker - Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

How about making up some delicious fajitas without having to fire up the grill, deal with blazing hot pans or even going out to dinner? I admit, I was skeptical this would work. But I keep seeing all the cute videos on Facebook of people making slow cooker fajitas and finally I was curious enough to give a try. Really, what’s there to lose? Certainly it would at least be edible, I thought. Well good news! It was more than edible! They turned out delicious and I will totally be making these again!

Sliced bell peppers on top of skirt steak - Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

This is a great layered meal and I love this as a great way to use fresh veggies! Peppers cook up really well in the slow cooker and become tender without getting mushy.

Use some nice hearty baby bella mushrooms and crispy red onions! Yum!

Marinade whisked in a bowl - Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

And this sauce/marinade? Can’t you just tell how delicious it’s going to be by just looking at it?! Honey, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder….. seriously, it makes this dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
  • 2 bell peppers ((I used one red and one yellow))
  • 1/2 large red onion
  • 8 oz sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Flour tortillas
  • Sour cream, cheese for serving ((optional))

Instructions

  • Place skirt steak in bottom of slow cooker
  • Remove ribs and seeds from peppers and slice then add to slow cooker on top of steak
  • Peel onion and slice into petals and add to slow cooker
  • Add pre-sliced mushrooms on top
  • Whisk together all remaining ingredients and pour over meat and veggies
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8
  • Remove and slice steak and remove veggies from slow cooker (you won't want all the sauce as they would be soggy)
  • Serve with tortillas, sour cream, cheese or as desired
  • I cooked these on high in my 4-quart slow cooker for 8 hours

Notes

Need a cool lime squeezer? Simple is best! Mine is yellow but pretty much like this one and works great and is easy to clean!

    Just put everything in the crock pot. It doesn’t seem like enough marinade. It was about a 1/4 cup of liquid…

      The veggies will release a lot of liquid as they cook. You should be good!

    To me, the flavor of the meat was more in line with a burrito, not fajitas. And, the veggies were too mushy. I might make the meat again, but use it for burittos.

    What if you use more meat do you have to cook it for longer?

      As long as you are using the correct size of slow cooker for the amount of meat/veggie you add, most likely not. Just make sure your slow cooker is somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 full and you should be good. If it’s too full, it will take longer for the food to cook.
