Crock Pot Fajitas

I've had a round steak marinating for a day or so.  Last night we had a couple pieces of it with our baked potatoes, it was tough...really really tough.  I put the man in charge of marinating it, and he didn't beat it with a mallet, like I normally do.  So, fortunately, I only cooked up half and let the other half continue to marinade overnight. 

Today at lunch, I cut it up into small strips and threw in my little baby crock pot with a bunch of fajita seasoning that we got for our wedding.  It's been almost five years and I still have a whole bunch, I'm sure it isn't as strong so I used 4 Teaspoons and mixed it with half a cup of water in the bottom of the crock.  I shoved all the meat strips in there, put the bone and the fat on top (for flavor) and sliced up half an onion I had in the fridge and threw it in there.

I am cooking it on high for the afternoon ( I started it at about 12:30).  At 5:00 I will check on it and see if I need to turn it down.  I will then saute` up another onion and a green pepper and maybe some carrot shavings.  You can put these in the crock but they get a little mushy, and I like my crisp.  I also don't have much room left in my crock to add as many veggies as I would like.  I will be serving with warmed tortillas, sour cream and salsa.  If we had mushrooms in the house I would add those too...but we don't.
