These Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas are a great easy weeknight meal. With a great kick from chipotle chili pepper and garlic, this will become a favorite.
I hit a point in the summer where some days the idea of turning on the oven or stove is about as appealing as spending the day outdoors on a humid 105 degree day.
If it were just me, I'd likely make a simple salad and call it a day. But with two growing boys whose appetites are ever increasing, this typically isn't an option. They aren't typically big fans of "rabbit food".
My solution is to dust off my crock pot, and create a meal that they will love without having to slave over a hot stove.

When I posted this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Casserole, I talked about how slow I was in jumping on the Slow Cooker bandwagon. These days, I can't figure out why. With three busy kids, I love it not only to keep from heating up the house in the summer, but also because it allows me to have more time doing the things I love. (We make these Sandwiches at least once a month and some variation of tacos at least once a week.)

Hi Wendy. Can you tell me how you are measuring the salsa? 16 oz by weight or volume? Thanks Cathy
