Fabulous Fajitas

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From Taste of Home

I've enjoyed cooking since I was a girl growing up in the Southwest. When friends call to ask me for new recipes to try, I suggest these flavorful fajitas. It's wonderful to put the beef in the slow cooker before church and come home to a hot delicious main dish. -Janie Reitz, Rochester, Minnesota

INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 pounds boneless sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
