Dust off that slow cooker if you haven't used it an awhile because you're going to want to fire it up for this. Beef fajitas are just the thing to add some spice to your life after a long day. Throw in the ingredients in the morning, and by evening you have tender, savory fajita meat and vegetables ready to be spooned into warm tortillas.
Just top with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and other vegetables of your choosing, and dinner is served. This recipe from TLC is quick, easy, and muy bien. They are, of course, better when enjoyed with a margarita.
