Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon taco or fajita seasoning
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- 1. Place chicken breast into a slow cooker. Sprinkle with half of the fajita seasoning.
- 2. Top with sliced peppers, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle with remaining seasoning, lime juice, and salsa.
- 3. Toss to combine.
- 4. Cook on low 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through a peppers are soft.
- 5. Serve on tortillas.
How to freeze fajitas:
- Combine the chicken, oil, lime juice, and seasoning in a gallon size freezer bag. Gently toss to combine.
- Add sliced onion and peppers.
- Seal, removing as much air as possible, label and freeze.
Notes
- Add the peppers and onions the last hour of cooking for a more crisp finish. Adding at the beginning gives you a softer pepper and onion.
- No fajita seasoning? No problem! Substitute with 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon each onion and garlic powder.
- I like to use Trader Joe’s Hatch Chile Salsa, but you can really use any salsa type!
- We also add mushrooms to this recipe occasionally.
