very easy to make, and extremely delicious
Definitely want more heat but can add at end. Pretty soggy meat and in description, you say serve with sour cream, guacamole, and/or salsa. In the picture you show cheese, green onions and sour cream. In the recipe you call for cheese . Very confusing.
I will give it a try
Thank you so much! You basically confirmed what I thought I could do in a crockpot and great fajitas! Can’t wait to make mine which I’ll be putting on in a few mins, . Keep posting easy Mexican/Spanish/Latino recipes, because that’s my absolute fav food!
I didn’t love it. The flavor was good but the meat was tough and I didn’t like the vegees out of the pot – too mushy.
My family loved these fajitas. I love to just put it in the slow cooker come home and dinner is done!
Nice and easy to cook in Crock Pot. Eat with warm tortillas and cheese.
This was Great only change I made was added a small can of hot green chilies.
I made this exactly to the recipe, amazing! so tender and delicious. I added crumbled queso fresco and it made them even better.
I’ve been cooking since before they invented stoves. I make good grilled fajitas, but I needed quick and easy and set it and forget it. I made these per the recipe. These were amazing. My husband has asked me to make them again. A friend of mine (he’s Mexican) who is really critical about Mexican food came over, and he even commented how good they were. BUT…the leftovers were even more truly amazing! We made burritos with and without beans and rice, and they were so good. I had a bit still left, so I scrambled eggs and added cheese and made a breakfast burrito. Just excellent. I’ve got a cooker going right now set to feed a bunch of teenage boy athletes. Highly recommend this recipe!!! Btw, I’ll just hook up my pancake griddle to heat the flour tortillas when the boys are ready. I can do 8 at a time. Fast. Easy.
These had a decent flavor,but it wasn’t something I want to try again,due to the heavy broth in the slow cooker that some would claim is the ‘cats pajamas.’ However the method of crockpot fajitas just didn’t do it for us. I might try another reviewer suggestions and crisp the fajita meat in the broiler,or my cast iron skillet than place the meat in the slow cooker. I’m on the fence on this one!
I followed the recipe precisely. The fajitas were bland and the vegetables were over cooked.
Good lord! If you had asked me yesterday “what is the most labor intensive way to ruin a steak?” i would not know how to answer. But as i loaded beautiful pieces of flank steak into the crockpot it felt wrong. The end result was unappealing. I did not care for this recipe at all.
My whole family enjoyed it. I was worried about it being too spicy so I left out Jalapeño pepper & added more chili powder. My daughter doesn’t like things too hot. Served on flour tortillas with refried beans & all the typical fajita sides. I just drained well before serving. Easy to make & I love the crockpot as my kids have different schedules with sports.
Was so good!
Easy, easy and easy…and tastes great.
This was very delicious! I was worried about the peppers being too soggy but they weren’t. It was the perfectly blended amount of flavor and texture. I will definitely make this easy recipe again. It was a huge hit in my home.
Couldn’t be easier! I made is as written and won’t change a thing. It’s delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Could have used a bit more flavor but that could just be my personal preference since I like things with a kick.. I will add Rotel instead of the chopped tomatoes next time and see if that adds the little extra I am looking for.
Added a little bit of beef broth for some liquid. Big fan of this recipe.
Excellent! I expected a bit of a soggy mess, but this turned out to be delicious!!
