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