Just got a new crock pot and this was the first recipe I decided to try. I substituted a round steak for the flank steak due to cost, but think it would have been a little better with the flank. This did have a lot of extra liquid so I might drain some of the tomato juice next time but overall this was a very delicious recipe. I made some guacamole and texas caviar to go with it and it was a very tasty meal!

Made this as directed but had to substitute chuck steak for the flank steak. Also, I left the jalapeno seeds in because we like it spicy. Used Chef #6651 's Fajita Seasoning Mix for the seasoning. There seemed to be a lot of extra liquid with this. I think next time I might try substituting the can of tomatoes and the jalapeno with one 10 oz can of Diced tomatoes and peppers. This had a lot of good flavor - will make again. Made for Saucy Senoritas Family Favorites ZWT5.

Absolutely delicious! Such an easy recipe and the aroma is intoxicating. I had this simmering in the Crock Pot today while I was teaching an in-house class and my student wanted to stay for dinner! Thanks daisygrl64!!!
