Slow Cooker Fajitas

Ingredients:
1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
 1 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steaks, cut into thin strips
 3/4 cup water
 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
 1 teaspoon chili powder
 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 8 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
 8 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
 Directions:
Place peppers and onion in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Top with beef. Combine the water, vinegar, lime juice and seasonings; pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until tender. Using a slotted spoon, place about 3/4 cup meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon salsa, 1 tablespoon cheese and 1 teaspoon cilantro; roll up. Yield: 8 servings.
We like to serve these with spanish rice.  Also, adding cilantro to the final product adds a lot of flavor.  Thanks.  
Freezing Directions:  Thaw contents of bag.  Then place in slow cooker.  Poor the sauce over the veggies and  meat.  Cook on low for 8-9 hours or until tender.   Serve on tortita's with salsa, cilantro, cheese, sour cream and your other favorite toppings.
