Ingredients:
2 lbs of thin cut stir fry beef or chicken
1 packet of fajita seasoning mix
1 onion
2 bell peppers (I used 1 orange, 1 yellow)
1/2 cup of water

Directions:
Place meat into the crock pot. Cut the onion and the peppers in strips, and add to the crock. Add the seasoning and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or high for 6.

Serve with your favorite fajita fixens'. We really like squeezing some fresh lime over the top of the meat before doctoring it up.
