Lindsey's Crock Pot Fajitas

Contributed by: Lindsey Vanderbosch

Ingredients:
  • 2-3 lbs of chicken, beef or pork (whatever you have, I've used boneless chicken breasts and a bone-in rib roast, really, whatever you have)
  • Fajita/meat seasoning - I prefer one fajitas packet, plus cumin, abodo seasoning and some pepper flakes
  • Onions - I'd say 2-3 small or 1-2 large onions, quartered
  • Peppers - About 2-3 large or a bunch of smaller peppers, halved or quartered depending on their size
  • Tortillas
  • Limes, Avocados, Cilantro, Lettuce, any garnishes you like and/or have on hand
Instructions:
  1. Put meat in crock pot, either rub generously with spices you like or just sprinkle them on top, whatever you feel like.  Coarsely chop a few onions and peppers and dump in on top.  Cook on low all day or on high for a few hours.  Before serving, use two forks to break up the meat.  Maybe grab some kitchen shears and chop coursely to break up the peppers/onions more if you have time and care.  If you want it to look fancy, just do the meat and sauté veggies on a pan with some olive oil right before serving the meat instead of cooking along in the big crock pot.
  2. Serve with warmed tortillas, lime wedges, cilantro, lettuce, avocado, cheese, whatever you have on and and your family will eat.  Enjoy!  Leftovers taste even better.  And you can serve as a salad, on top of rice, or add broth and rice and make a soup too.  Yum.  We eat this at least once a week.
