Crock-Pot Flank Steak Fajitas

I love making crock-pot meals. When you are trying to balance a busy schedule around a healthy lifestyle a crock-pot will come in handy! I plan my crock-pot meals for hectic days when I know I will not have the time or energy to cook at night. I throw everything in my crock-pot in the morning before work and head out the door. Crock-pot meals are easy with minimal clean up and they make your home smell amazing!

I found this flavor packed dish on 100 Days of Real Food. It's delicious, healthy and easy! I usually pair this dish with brown rice or a whole wheat tortilla and a side salad. Give it a try!
