Can I Use Different Types of Meat for This Recipe?

Absolutely, you can switch up the London broil for chicken, pork, or even shrimp. Just remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking, especially with something like shrimp that cooks much faster.

5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas Ingredients

• 16 oz (454g) salsa
• 2 to 3 pounds (900g to 1.4 kg) London broil, sliced into thick strips
• 1 red and green bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fajita seasoning

How To Make 5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas

1. Add the Salsa: Start by spreading the salsa evenly across the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Layer the Ingredients: Next, arrange the London broil strips over the salsa. Add both red and green bell pepper strips and sliced onion on top.
3. Sprinkle the Seasoning: Now, evenly distribute the fajita seasoning over all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
4. Mix the Ingredients: Gently stir everything together to ensure the ingredients are well-coated with the salsa and seasoning.
5. Set to Cook: Secure the lid on your slow cooker. Turn the heat to low and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
6. Add Vegetables Later for Crunch: For those who prefer their vegetables with a bit more bite, consider adding the bell peppers and onions in the last 30 to 60 minutes of cooking.
7. Serve and Enjoy: When everything is tender and flavorful, spoon the steak and pepper mixture onto warm, soft tortillas. Garnish with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cheese, or avocado slices for the perfect finish.

Recipe Tips

• Layering Technique: Start with the salsa at the bottom to create a juicy base, then layer the steak and veggies on top for optimal flavor absorption during the slow cook process.
• Meat Preparation: If you want each bite to be extra tender, try slicing your London broil against the grain. This simple trick makes a noticeable difference in the texture of your fajitas.
• Salsa Selection: Choose a chunky salsa for more texture, or go with a smoother variety if you prefer a more cohesive sauce in your fajitas. The type of salsa can really change the game here!

Recipe Variations

• Chicken for Steak: Swap out the London broil for chicken breasts or thighs if you’re in the mood for poultry. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid drying out the chicken.
• Vegetarian Delight: For a vegetarian version, replace the steak with a mix of mushrooms, zucchini, and black beans. It’ll still be hearty and fulfilling without the meat.
• Spicy Kick: Add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the mix before cooking if you like your fajitas with a bit more fire. Just a little goes a long way!
• Wrap It Up: Instead of tortillas, try serving your fajita mix over a bed of rice or quinoa for a fun bowl variation. It’s a great way to soak up all that delicious fajita flavor.

What To Serve With Steak Fajitas

Serve your Steak Fajitas with a quinoa cilantro salad, spicy grilled pineapple slices, creamy garlic mashed cauliflower, zesty cucumber tomato salad, and French Fries.

You can also pair them with a smoky chipotle sauce and a refreshing watermelon feta salad for a unique twist.

How To Store Leftover Steak Fajitas

In The Fridge:

Store your leftover steak fajitas in an airtight container. Ensure that the steak and vegetables are cooled completely before sealing. This will keep everything fresh for up to three days in the refrigerator.

In The Freezer:

Steak fajitas are best enjoyed fresh. However, if necessary, you can freeze them. Freeze in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

How To Reheat Leftover Steak Fajitas

Reheat your leftover steak fajitas in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, stirring until heated through.

Alternatively, microwave them covered, with a few drops of water added, for quick reheating.
