- Cooking Method: Slow Cook
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 4-6 hours
- Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (choose your color, live a little!)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced (because red means love)
- 1 onion, sliced (tears of joy)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz, because size matters)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (aka flavor bombs)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed for best results)
- 8 flour tortillas (soft and cozy)
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro
Cooking Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. No fighting over who gets more space, please.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the chicken. Paint it like Picasso!
- Add sliced bell peppers and onion on top of the chicken. Think of it as layering a fabulous Tex-Mex bed.
- Throw in minced garlic and canned diced tomatoes. Mix them if you like, but I’m not here to judge your stirring habits.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. While you wait, solve world peace or take a nap – your choice.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. (Or one fork, if you’re feeling rebellious.)
- Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it all together.
- Add lime juice. Trust me, it’s the little zing that makes you sing.
- Serve the chicken fajita mixture on warm tortillas. Dress it up with your favorite toppings. Oh-so-fancy!
Suggestions
- Alternative ingredients: Feel free to substitute chicken with beef or tofu. Both are equally lovable!
- Garnishing options: Besides the classics, try radishes, pickled jalapenos, or a drizzle of hot sauce if you dare.
- Cooking tip: For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken with taco seasoning and lime juice overnight.
- Pro tip: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for crispier edges.
