We’re back online!It feels so good to have Internet again.We’re still getting settled in, & I’m having a hard time finding places to fit everything inside my tiny kitchen (I may or may not be keeping my spices in a cardboard box for the moment & some of my baking dishes in a linen closet; how ironic that our NJ kitchen was larger!), so no kitchen or craft experimentation just yet, but I do have one recipe that I photographed in our old kitchen & didn’t have time to post before we rushed down here.
When The Munchkin was tiny, she was really tiny.Nursing was a two-handed job just because she was so small, so my long list of books to read while nursing turned into countless hours of DVR’d movies & TV shows in the middle of the night.I barely left the living room sofa.My daytime lineup included several cooking shows, like Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. This recipe is adapted from one of hers.In addition to being wonderfully easy, this is a great recipe for picky eaters who have a hard time with texture; the veggies get nice & soft in the slow cooker.
Slow-Cooker Fajitas
- В 2 lbs.beef round steak, sliced thin (I just buy the pre-sliced stir-fry beef)
- 2 pkts.fajita seasoning
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green peppers, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 cup plus a splash of apple juice
- wh*le-wheat tortillas
- sour cream, cheese, etc., for serving
(I make a half recipe for us, so that’s why one of the peppers is missing.)
To slice your peppers without getting the seeds everywhere, use Ina Garten’s method (which I also learned from my nursing days in front of the TV): Hold your pepper with the stem up on your cutting board, then cut around the core using a large chef’s knife.Discard the core, seeds, & all, when you’re done.No mess!
- Add steak slices on top, seasoning those with the other packet as you go to make sure that the beef is relatively evenly coated.I don’t use the wh*le packet; it’s plenty seasoned with less.But you can choose how much to put on.
- Cook on low 8-10 hours.
- To serve, warm tortillas in the microwave, then use metal tongs or a slotted spoon to add meat & veggies.Top with sour cream, cheese,В & whatever else sounds tasty!
