Cook up a Flavor Fiesta with Easy Crock-Pot Chicken Fajitas Recipe
If you’re looking for an easy, healthy and delicious meal to make in your slow cooker, look no further than Crock-Pot Chicken Fajitas. This recipe is not only a breeze to make, but it’s also a perfect option for anyone following Weight Watchers or trying to eat a balanced diet.
To start, gather your ingredients: boneless skinless chicken breasts, bell peppers, onions, black beans, tomatoes, corn, garlic, homemade fajita seasoning mix, flour tortillas, cheese, and sour cream. The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it to suit your tastes – add more veggies, switch up the protein, or even make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken.
To prepare your Crock-Pot Chicken Fajitas, simply place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add in the bell peppers, onions, black beans, tomatoes, corn, and garlic. Sprinkle the homemade fajita seasoning mix over the top, and give everything a good stir to ensure all ingredients are coated with the flavorful seasoning.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Serve the fajita mixture in warm flour tortillas, topped with cheese, some fresh pico de gallo or salsa, a squeeze of lime juice, sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
I like to serve these tasty chicken fajitas with side dishes such as refried beans and Mexican rice for a classic dinner combo that the entire family will love.
Not only is this recipe easy to make, but it’s also a great option for meal prep. Make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy it throughout the week for quick and healthy lunches or dinners. Plus, the leftovers freeze well for future meals.
