Tex Mex Crock Pot Fajitas
When I feel like crud, I want comfort. But I want easy, too. And nothing is easier than opening a couple cans out of the pantry, tossing them into a crock pot with a protein of choice (hello, beef roast), and sitting back while dinner is made without any additional effort from me. Simple, flavorful, and a new house favorite, these Tex Mex Crock Pot Fajitas will be a new go-to dish in your house, too–head cold or not!

Instructions
  1. Pat dry the beef roast. Open cans of Ro-Tel and green chiles, keeping the juices from each.
  2. Place all ingredients through tomato sauce into crock pot insert. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours.
  3. Remove the roast and slice into small strips. Place the meat back into the crock pot insert and allow it to soak up all of the wonderful juices in the cooker, treating it like a Tex Mex jus’!
  4. Pile your tortillas high with this juicy, flavorful and easy weeknight meal. Sprinkle with the juice of one wedge of lime. Yum!
Recipe Notes

Since this roast makes more than what just 2 people would normally eat in one setting (I would hope!), I have to say that having some on day 2 for leftover lunch was even better.  The meat got to sit in some of those juices an additional night, and it soaked up those flavors like a sponge.  My husband chopped up the beef into little bite-sized pieces and made fajita nachos while we watched football.  Leftover Tex Mex Crock Pot Fajita Nachos–score!

In fact, consider THAT as a great potluck food for football Sunday!  Or the playoffs.  Or the Super Bowl.  Or any gathering you may have on your calendar!
