5-Ingredient Crockpot Beef Fajitas Recipe

0 · Nov 18, 2013 · Stephanie Gerber · Leave a Comment

We’re really taking advantage of leftovers with this week’s meal plan. I don’t know about you, but making 5 separate, unique meals during the week just isn’t feasible with everyone’s busy schedules. If a meal doesn’t leave me with leftovers then I don’t even want to bother! We’re doing beef for the first part of the week and chicken for the latter with a focus on warm, hearty and comforting meals to beat out the fall chill that’s creeping up on us.

Crockpot Beef Fajitas | HelloGlow.coThe Mexican pulled beef that starts the week off couldn’t be any easier. You literally throw everything (all of 5 ingredients!) into the slow cooker and let it do its thing while you go on with your busy day. Come dinner time, you have a delicious meal just waiting to be wrapped up in a tortilla with whatever fixings you like (sour cream and cilantro for me, please!). Then on Tuesday, we turn it into pizza!
