These crockpot fajitas take all the flavor of sizzling skillet fajitas and make them completely hands-off for busy weeknights.

Flank steak breaks down beautifully over 8-10 hours, shredding easily with two forks once it’s tender.

Green and red bell peppers cook down until sweet and soft while jalapeño brings adjustable heat depending on how much you add.

Cumin, coriander, and chili powder create that authentic Tex-Mex spice blend that makes every bite taste like your favorite Mexican restaurant.

Shredding the cooked meat and stirring it back into the pepper mixture lets everything mingle and soak up those accumulated juices.

Slow Cooker Tips

Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat or leave them in if you like things spicy
Cook on low for the full 8-10 hours so the flank steak becomes tender enough to shred easily
Set out all the toppings (sour cream, cheese, salsa) so everyone can build their own fajitas at the table
