“I love fajitas like they serve in Mexican restaurants, but when I prepared them at home, the meat was always chewy,” explains Katie Urso of Seneca, Illinois. “Then I tried this recipe in my slow cooker, and my husband and I savored every last bite. Fresh cilantro gives these fajitas the extra punch that makes them taste truly authentic.”

I make my own salsa, and using it instead of water is much better in this recipe. I had to adjust seasonings to our taste and put the veges on top of the meat instead of under. Pretty good

Way too much liquid and way too little taste....veggies were mush. I wanted to like it just because of the ease of cooking it. Still in search of a great fajita recipe...I hoped this would be it.

Once the cook time was completed, there was too much liquid in the slow cooker for my liking. Flavor a bit bland. Oh well!~ Theresa

I took the advice on here and used the bag of frozen onions and peppers and it worked great. I used the seasonings in the recipes but also sprinkled a little fajita seasoning on top since people said it was a little bland. It was delicious. It was nice having a fajita that didn't taste like leather.

The meat was really tender. I thought the flavoring was a bit bland and there was way too much liquid. I drained the liquid off before filling the tortilla shells. I would make this again, but willadd additional seasonings and more cayenne. I served this dish with homemade mexician rice.. it was a well rounded meal and it was ready when I got home, that is a huge bonus!!

This recipe is a hit with my family! The only thing I change is that I add a bag of bird's Eye frozen pepper stir fry about 5 hours into cooking it. Otherwise the onions and peppers seem to disentigrate after 8 hours. The cilantro is key to this dish! It's one of my fav's!

I drained the fajitas REALLY well before putting them on the tortillas. Filling STILL spurted out all over when you tried to bite into it. Meat was tender but peppers were completely mush. Would not consider making this again as I think it lacked a lot of flavour to boot. Sorry!!!! (but that's what this rating system is all about, isn't it!)

This was a really good recipe. I also used chicken. It was great to put in the slow cooker, and forget it. I am a Master's degree candidate and very busy studying, so slow cooker recipes are great. This message to patches08: Are you always so rude? The author of this recipe deserves respect. It is fine to review a recipe and say what you liked or disliked, but it isn't right to make a personal attack on someone. Did you even try the recipe? You could have easily added the salsa and cheese. I wonder how you would feel if the situation were reversed. Shame on you.

The flavor is too mild, and the filling is very watery, which makes for a messy fajita because the wrap disintegrates.

No salsa, no cheese you sound like a boring north east yankee.

I loved this recipe! I used chicken instead of sirloin steak and it was fabulous!! I would definitely make this again. I didn't use the cilantro or the salsa...and it was still WONDERFUL!

I didn't enjoy this recipe; too many ingredients and the vegetables were cooked to death. I'll stick to my traditional marinated meat grilled with vegetables and served on a tortilla. No salsa, no cheese.
