As a busy teacher, I think it's so nice to come home to a warm meal after a day in the classroom. I'm not the only one who thinks so: These beefy fajitas go fast at potlucks, too. —Mary Holmgren, Mackinaw, Illinois

Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (2 pounds), halved crosswise
1 medium green pepper, cut into strips
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into strips
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
1 envelope fajita seasoning mix
1/2 cup beer or reduced-sodium beef broth
8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1 cup pico de gallo
Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Place the first 5 ingredients in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Pour beer over top. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6-8 hours.
Remove beef from slow cooker. Strain vegetable mixture; return vegetables to slow cooker. (Discard cooking juices or save for another use.) Shred beef with 2 forks; add to vegetables and heat through. Serve in tortillas with pico de gallo and cilantro.

Test Kitchen tips

Keep the pepper slices on the thick side. If cut too thin, they break down more during the long cook time.

We love adding fresh toppings to slow-cooked dishes. They add color, texture and bright flavor. That’s why we used pico de gallo instead of salsa.
