Want to know my secret ingredient for the BEST fajitas? It’s SALSA! A jar of LA VICTORIA® Thick ‘n Chunky Salsa simmers away with veggies, seasonings, and lime and creates a flavorful sauce for beef fajitas.

LA VICTORIA® offers a delicious, flavorful line of jarred salsas, taco sauces and enchilada sauces. In my recipe below you will see how this salsa transforms beef fajitas!

How to make Beef Fajitas in the Crockpot:

Follow my easy guide to make easy fajitas in the slow cooker. There is no babysitting this recipe, just set and forget!

  1. Add sweet yellow onions to the slow cooker. I cut these into rings.
  2. Next add thick-cut bell peppers, cutting these in larger strips will help the pepper stay intact during the slow cooking time.
  3. Add beef strips on top of the vegetables. These beef strips are often labeled “Stir fry beef strips”. Or you can cut a roast into strips if you can’t find stir fry meat.
  4. Add chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze over the juice of one lime. Now pour over a jar of LA VICTORIA® Thick ‘n Chunky salsa. The salsa is made with tomatoes and peppers picked at the peak of ripeness, LA VICTORIA® Thick ‘n Chunky Salsa delivers refreshing flavor to this recipe.

      This was great! If anything a little watery, I would recommend draining the salsa maybe before adding it, that may have had something to do with the wateryness, but other than that tasted great!!

      I fixed this and it was terrible! Too soupy and I even drained anything that had liquid in it . Also didn’t like the chili powder in it! I will go back to fixing it in a skillet! Wouldn’t recommend this recipe….
