## Instructions

1. **Mix fajita marinade.** Mix together, in a small bowl, salsa, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, pepper, and salt.

2. **Prepare slow cooker.** Place flank steak into the bottom of the slow cooker then pour mixture on top. Lay the onion and peppers on top.

3. **Cook.** Cook for 5-8 hours on low. I used 6 quart slow cooker and put mine in frozen. It was done at 6 hours. If I put it in thawed it would have been done probably at around 5 hours or less. Depending on your slow cooker your time could vary.

4. **Shred steak.** Remove steak from slow cooker and cut across the grain into thin slices.

5. **Make avocado cream.** Mix together avocado, greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and lime.

6. **Assemble fajitas.** Divide steak, peppers and onions, and avocado spread among 6 tortillas. Roll up and serve warm.
