Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions
- Pour your stock into the Instant Pot insert.
- Add beef strips and seasoning to the Instant Pot insert.
- Top your Instant Pot Steak with the peppers and onions.
- Put your Instant Pot lid on, lock and set to high pressure / manual pressure for 8 mins. If you have a tougher cut of beef, set it for 9 mins.
- Perform a Quick Pressure Release, then open the lid and pour the lime juice over top of your Instant Pot Fajitas.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the Instant Pot steak, peppers and onions and set in serving dish.
- Serve your Instant Pot Steak Fajitas in tortillas with quinoa or rice and your choice of toppings.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in the slow cooker, then add 1 cup of diced tomatoes.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hrs. Cooking for 3.5 hrs works best for me. Or, if you need a longer cook time, cook on low for 6-7 hrs.
- Shred meat if necessary and serve with tortillas and your choice of toppings.
Stovetop Instructions
- Mix 2 Tbsp of olive oil with juice of 1 lime with your taco seasoning. Use this as a marinade for the beef.
- On the stovetop in a pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add the peppers and onions to the pan and cook for 4-5 mins.
- Remove veggies from the pan and set aside. Add the steak strips to the pan.
- Cook steak strips for 7-8 mins, then add the marinade to the pan with the steak.
- Next, add the veggies back in and stir for 1 min.
- Serve your stovetop steak fajitas with tortillas and your choice of toppings.

Notes
- There are 3 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving .
- Cook time noted does not include time for Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.
- Make sure to cut the steak against the grain when you’re cutting your Instant Pot Steak into strips.
- Slice the veggies into thicker strips so when they cook they don’t turn into mush and break apart.
- Feel free to use chicken or vegetable stock instead of beef stock.
- If you like your fajitas with a little heat, add in some chili powder, cayenne or chipotle pepper.
- To keep this recipe gluten free, make sure to use gluten free tortillas.
- Don’t have beef? No worries, just make these tasty Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas instead.
- You can brown the steak in Instant Pot before adding the veggies, but this recipe is simple enough that you don’t have to.
