Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

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.

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!

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!

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.

Now that I know this whole fajita/slow cooker thing works, the only question is, what kind to try next!!!

Instructions

• 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)

• 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!
