seasonings, bell pepper, onions, sliced beef

I’m all about simplicity these days so there are only 5 ingredients in this recipe and they are: beef, bell pepper, onion, salsa, and *fajita seasoning.

What Type Of Beef To Use

I used a 2 pounds of flank steak that I sliced into strips. The beauty about the slow cooker and electric pressure cooker Instant Pot) is that you can use your preferred cut of beef in this recipe. If not flank steak, other suggestions include sirloin, flat iron, chuck roast, rump, flank steak, beef stew meat, etc. You can substitute chicken or pork instead of beef if you like. Heck I have even made these fajitas using a large turkey breast. The concept stays the same, just swap out the protein.

sliced red & green bell peppers

Bell Peppers & Onions

The vegetables in this recipe are listed are 2 bell peppers and 1 large onion. I usually use 1 green bell pepper and 1 red one to be fancy. You can use 2 bell peppers of your choice. For the onions, I have used red onion, yellow onion, and white onion and I seriously don’t have a preference.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

If you use my homemade seasoning blend then technically this is more than 5 ingredients. I won’t preach because I used to use store-bought seasoning packets myself. But in general, I encourage you to ditch the store-bought seasoning packets. Below is my go-to homemade fajita seasoning. You probably have all these spices in your pantry already. This makes about 2 1/2 tbsp which is equivalent to 1 packet of store-bought. I make a big batch and keep a mason jar full of it in my cupboard.

How To Serve The Fajitas

My go-to is lettuce wraps. Other suggestions are tortillas or over rice (regular, brown, or riced cauliflower). You can also use this as filling for burritos or even enchiladas.

I use a 6-quart slow cooker / Instant Pot to make this recipe.

    I was looking for ideas for the crockpot tonight and found your recipe on Pinterest 🙂 I am definitely making these tonight and debating on which kitchen gadget to use (I have a bit too many lol.) Probably my Ninja since it slows cooks and more. The Ninja multi cooker I have has the stove top feature and then I can drop it down to slow cook.

    Have you tried to saute before slow cooking? I do that with beef stew and I am wondering if searing it will be a good idea or if I should dump it all in and go. I would love to try it in the Instant Pot one day too, but I won’t be home early enough for that tonight.

      My crock pot seems to cook hotter than any crock pot in any recipe. I have learned that if I make anything in my crock pot, especially if it says to cook on high, that I have to start checking doneness about halfway through the cooking process. Particularly when the meat I am cooking is in chunks or strips, if I cook it as long as most recipes call for, I have to cut the time or I end up with something the consistency of chunky dog food. You could have done everything right and just need to cut the cooking time down because your slow cooker hulks out like mine does. I would try again but just cut the time down.

      I have not tried sirloin but I think it would work. Since sirloin is a thinner cut, it might cook fast so watch it after the 1st couple hours the first time you make this.

        I used the sirloin for my fajitas. I doubled the recipe for a big birthday party. I cooked them for a little less time than required. I used a slotted spoon when serving. They were a hit – turned out great! Many compliments! Leftovers were amazing, also! I made your fajita seasoning, and loved it. I did add a little more to the recipe than called for because we love the flavors. Thank you so much for a great recipe!

I halved it and it turned out great. The extra juices from cooking were great to spoon over rice. I’m making it again tomorrow for Sunday dinner. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

    This is one of our favorite recipes. We actually think it tastes a lot like the ropa vieja from one of our favorite Cuban restaurants so instead of serving it in a tortilla, we put it over rice or cauliflower rice and make Cuban black beans that we mix into it. I have one question though. I want to make it for my father who does not like spices. What would you recommend cutting in order to make it a little less spicy but yet still maintain the flavor?

    I followed the recipe to a tee and we loved it! We do mass crockpot meal preps so we bagged and froze most of it, minus the salsa. We thawed the bag overnight in the fridge then dumped in the crock, added the salsa, and cooked 8 hrs on low. We have 3 more for the month and can’t wait til the next time it comes around!

I am attempting the Whole 30 diet, and this is the first dinner recipe I’ve made since I started it (today Lol). That seasoning mix is perfect and this was great just on a plate with guacamole on top. Luckily it’s versatile, so my husband was also very pleased, as he ate his typical fajita style with all of the toppings. So easy, so delicious and can change to go with almost any diet. Thank you for the fantastic recipe!

    Made this with chicken. YUM! Everyone,the one year old to the grandparents loved it. I browned and precooked the chicken about 20 minutes because I needed to hurry things along. Then I dumped all the ingredients into the crock pot leaving the juice that cooked out of the chicken behind. I loved the fajita flavoring mix and will be using it often in all my Tex Mex dishes.

    I fixed this tonight but it didn’t turn out like fajitas instead it was more like Carne Guisada, which my guys like but I wanted fajitas. I did everything like you did except I used a 14 oz can diced tomatoes instead of the salsa and I used 2 lbs of thin sliced beef tenderizer (pkg said Maltese ). I cooked on low for 7 hours. I don’t know what happened. I asked husband if he wanted me to keep it or throw it out. He said keep it he liked it. He put it over Spanish rice with cheese. I told him well I guess I know how to make Carne Guisada. Lol
    Don’t get me wrong it had a good taste but had my taste buds ready for fajitas.
    Still looking for a good fajita recipe.

      Hi Linda,

      Yikes. While carne guisada is good, I understand it’s not what you were looking for. Did it by chance it on warm? Even if not, since every slow cooker heats differently, you’re just might heat on the high side. I’m asking because this has actually happened to me and it was a result of me accidentally overcooking it. Even if you followed the setting exactly. If you chose to make the recipe again (I hope you do), I would suggest reducing the cook time. I’m sorry the recipe did not work out for you. xShannon

    Just have all but the chili powder in my slow cooker at 11:50 pm. Will leave it on low until morning…and check it then. Need to add the chili in the morning as we need to go get some! Thought I had but hubby has searched and searched and can’t find it. So will update this once we have it finished tomorrow and give it a taste. Love the fact it is only 5 ingredients (well the fajita spices need to be done ahead to add and I am afraid we will be adding the extra tbsp of the chili powder so it is a tad more than you call for but I BET it is forgiving this recipe) and in a slow cooker so I only had to do the slicing and the mixing – the pot does the rest! Yup, my kind of recipe and I have pinned it. If we like it I will be giving it my YEAH! on my Pinterest page where I have the recipes I have tried and YEAH and NAY them! 🙂

        Well! It was ABSOLUTELY a rave! The guys in the family liked it SOOOOO much that they ASKED if we could have the leftovers for the next day supper meal! I loved it also. It was easy to make. I LOVE that it only uses 5 ingredients. I found that it needed to be allowed to “cook down” in order to remove some of the moisture. That might have been because I used two LARGE peppers, a LARGE onion, and because I did not measure exactly the amount of salsa and I used a combo of two of them. One was a homemade one I obtained from our local online market, and because it was not quite as much as indicated I added a Tostitos medium salsa to top it up. As well, I used stew beef that I cut into short, short strips. Not sure why but the end result had a LOT of liquid in it. Maybe I needed more meat since I think I was short the 2 lbs by a wee bit. But anyway, we used a slotted serving utensil to take the mix out of the dish I had put it in and that worked mostly. The main point is that I used your Fajita spice mix and it worked perfectly. The mix given was JUST enough for this pot of slow cooker fajita. So I know I can make this ahead and bottle it for us as it is great! Very very tasty. At any rate, if there was a star rating of 5 I would be giving this recipe a 5+ cause it is just too awesome to pass up! Yup we WILL be doing this again. And oh yes, making this motivated me to also make our own guacamole which my brother insisted I need to have available ALL the time in future and refried black beans to add to our supper. Both the guacamole and the refried beans were found on Pinterest and both were a big hit with my husband and I, although the beans seemed as if they were avoided by my brother. Hmmm… but I liked both of those too. When two guys rave about something you KNOW it has to be good! Yup! THANK YOU!

    I made this a few days ago and it was wonderful! I had lots of juices left over so I decided to make soup out of the leftovers! I cut up the meat and peppers that were left, added some beef stock, cooked brown rice and some corn. Topped it with some sour cream and shredded cheese. It was divine! Thanks for a great recipe!

    My daughter made this for dinner, it is delicious
    It’s was so good I could eat just the veggies in tortillas. She also made a chimichurri sauce that complimented it very well.

      Hi Stacy,

      I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe! The calorie content will depend on the salsa you use and how you serve this (tortilla, over rice, etc) but in general, this a low calorie with approximately 350 calories per serving.

    Looks, yummy! Just wondering do the peppers stay firm or do they get soft? I don’t want mushy peppers. Thanks, April

      Thank you! The peppers get soft. If you like yours ‘al dente’ then I suggest you add them to the slow cooker the last couple hours of cook time versus at the beginning. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

      Either. If you can’t find already cut strips at your local grocery then you will need to buy the beef and cut it yourself. I hope you enjoy the recipe. Good luck!

    I’ve made this twice already and it is so easy and so delicious. You can make it a little different every time by switching out different types of salsa or tomatoes [like jalapenos, chipotle, green chilies, etc.] This is going into my favorites folder. Also, highly recommended for mommies with little ones because it takes no time to prepare. THANKS a million for posting! 🙂

      Yes but you’ll need some sort of ‘juicy’ substitute. Do you like diced tomatoes? If so, sub 15 ounces diced tomatoes. If not add 1/3 cup low-sodium beef broth.

        I usually use taco sauce instead of salsa because I don’t like the chunks of tomatoes.

      Yup, you can use frozen meat. You’ll need to add an extra 30 min of cooking time but that’s it. Good luck, I hope you enjoy the recipe!

    salutations friend i was having a serious debate with my father in law’s 3rd wife and we were wondering how to properly pronounce fajita. she claims that the 2nd a is silent but my english teacher says that the hard J sound makes the F sound like a PH. thanks so much!

    Hi! I want to try this recipe next week (it looks delicious) but I need help about the salsa. Which one it is? In my country we have salsa de tomate (ketchup), salsa inglesa (worcestershire),salsa china (soy) salsa verde o de tomatillo (I have not idea how to translate it), barbacoa (BBQ), …. so, could you help me clarifying the ingredient? Thank you.

      You will want to use the kind of salsa that you dip tortilla chips into. The company Pace makes several varieties. Es la salsa que contiene tomate, cebolla, pimiento, y cosas así. Es un poco “chunky.” Ojalá que le ayude.

      Hi Rebeca,

      Salsa verde o de tomatillo or salsa de tomate. Personally I like salsa de tomate; I used a pico de gallo salsa this particular time. But like I said, you can use either. Let me know how it turns out!
