Ingredients
  

  • 1kg grams chuck beef or other cheap, fatty cuts of beef,
  • 1 400 gram can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 brown onion
  • 1 stick of celery

Fajita Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder or flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Powder more if you like it HOT
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

To Serve

  • 1 large head of lettuce
  • 1 cup Grated cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado
  • 1 punnet Cherry tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Chop the beef into large 2cm cubes (uneven is fine), removing any sinew but keep the fat. In a hot, oiled frying pan, sear all sides.
  • Roughly chop the carrot, onion and celery and put in the base of the slow cooker.
  • Combine all Fajita Seasoning ingredients, and mix with the can of tomatoes and ½ a cup of water. Put the beef chunks on top of the chopped veggies in the slow cooker and pour over the tomato mixture.
  • Cook on low for 6- 8 hours until the meat is falling apart and tender.
  • Remove the meat (not using the vegetables underneath – compost them if you can!) and shred the meat, using some of the juice in the slow cooker if it looks a little dry. Serve atop a salad of lettuce, chopped avocado, cheese, sour cream and tomatoes.
  • Alternatively you could wrap up everything in lettuce leaves and have it like a burrito! Yum Yum
