Slow Cooker Flank Steak Fajitas
This America Makes Dinner Recipe was created by Lisa Leake, the mom behind 100 Days of Real Food, a blog that tells about her family's conversion to a real-food diet and shows others that cutting out processed food is do-able and delicious.
Her fajita recipe uses the slow cooker to take the hectic last minute prep out of this favorite meal.
