Notes
Notes
This meat mixture is quite salty, which is perfect for fajitas, but if you are going to serve over salad or eat the mixture alone, omit the salt or use low-sodium soy sauce.
If you don't like the soft texture of slow cooker vegetables, you can cook the meat alone and saute the veggies over medium-high heat until they reach your preferred level of doneness just before serving.
