It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
1 1/2 pound flank steak
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut julienne
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut julienne
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced tomatoes
12 flour tortillas
sour cream
guacamole
shredded cheese, Cheddar or Monterey Jack
salsa
chopped tomatoes
lettuce
directions
Cut the flank steak into large chunks (they don't need to be too small as you'll be shredding them later).
Combine the beef, onion, green pepper, red pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt in the crock pot. Top with the chopped tomatoes.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the beef is very tender.
Remove the beef from the crock pot and place on a platter or cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks. Return the meat to the crock pot and stir into the mixture.
To serve, top flour tortillas with some of the meat and vegetable mixture (use a slotted spoon or tongs so the fajitas don't get soggy). Top with desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, cheese, or salsa. Fold the tortillas and eat!

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I found this recipe and printed it out yesterday. I cooked the dish yesterday in the slow cooker over 5-6 hours. It was fantastic! In Australia we need to look fairly hard to find decent Mexican style food and this recipe was delightful. Easy, Delicious and a welcome change from the Old El Paso pre-made "kits" that we get at the supermarket.
