\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Step-by-Step Culinary Preparation Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bFollow this simple 4-step crockpot guide to chop, layer, slow-cook, and serve your juicy beef fajitas, exactly as demonstrated in the raw crockpot prep photograph \ud83c\udf2e\u2728!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bStep 1: Slice and Layer the Ingredients \ud83e\udd69\ud83e\uded1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. \u200bChop 1 large yellow onion into thick wedges and place them across the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker insert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u200bSlice 2 lbs of flank or skirt steak against the grain into \u00bd-inch thick strips and place them directly on top of the onions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u200bSlice 1 red, 1 green, and 1 yellow bell pepper into thick \u00bd-inch strips and arrange them neatly over the beef layer (as clearly captured in the main photo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. \u200bChef’s Secret:<\/em> Keeping the bell pepper strips thick prevents them from becoming mushy during the extended slow-cooking process!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bStep 2: Season and Mix Thoroughly \ud83c\udf36\ufe0f\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. \u200bIn a small bowl, whisk together 1 packet of fajita seasoning (or 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, \u00bd tsp garlic powder, \u00bd tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper), 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u200bDrizzle the seasoning mixture evenly over the beef, peppers, and onions inside the slow cooker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u200bToss gently with tongs to ensure the meat strips and pepper slices are coated in spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. \u200bCrucial Rule:<\/em> Do NOT add liquid broth or water! The peppers, onions, and beef will release plenty of natural juices as they warm up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bStep 3: Slow Cook to Tender Perfection \ud83e\udd69\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. \u200bCover the slow cooker tightly with its glass lid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. \u200bCook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours<\/strong> (or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours<\/strong>) until the beef strips are tender and the bell peppers are soft yet hold their shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. \u200bTurn off the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u200bStep 4: Assemble Wraps and Serve \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. \u200bWarm small flour or corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. \u200bUsing slotted tongs, scoop generous portions of juicy beef, colorful peppers, and onions onto each warm tortilla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. \u200bGarnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocados, sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh salsa verde, and enjoy hot!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
