this is such a fantastic, easy recipe. the crockpot really tenderizes the meat (and the whole house smells great also)

Great flavor! The steak was very tender and just melted in your mouth. I used a can of diced tomatoes (w/no chilies) and no peppers. We skipped the tortillas and served over bed of Romaine lettuce w/shredded cheese and sour cream. I will definitely make this again!!

the steak fell apart at the end. there were no strips of steak to even make a fajita. The steak stayed tough, never got tender. Do do not make this crock pot recipe. I did and threw it away!
