Beef Fajita (Slow Cooker Style)

I had some stir fry beef all ready to stir fry and make Slimming World beef fajitas.  The tortillas of course are not free but I save  syns for some favourite slimming world beef recipes

Its a fast meal but even so, it was one of those days where I just could not even be bothered to stand and stir fry.  I thought about the slow cooker. I was a bit dubious about the lack of liquid in my normal recipe, so decided to add a tin of chopped tomatoes.

I did not even fry the beef and I usually do, but  it still worked really well.

The finished mix was not too liquidy and would be fine in a tortilla. I served with rice for a syn free meal. (Another easy Slimming World recipe)

I love this, I make a lot  of fajitas in summer, but this means more time in the garden and tastes as good, in fact a little better as the beef falls apart! Plus no melting over a hot stove for me, albeit briefly when stir frying.
I like the Jalapenos, we are chilli fans so if you eat mild fajitas, omit them and halve the chilli powder too.
