Fajitas in a Crock Pot

Fajitas in a Crock Pot….actually, fajitas are fairly easy and quick to make on top of the stove and I usually make my chicken or beef fajitas just that way.

But if you have a busy day or are at work….it is easy to throw everything in the crock pot to be ready for your return to the kitchen.

You will have to shred lettuce, cheese (or buy it already shredded) and slice the bell peppers and onions….but that doesn’t take long.

You then put the peppers and onions in a crock pot, place the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and set it and forget it.

Bell Peppers and Onions

It is that simple!

Make up a little Pico de Gallo and Guacamole! Ole! if desired, and you will have a feast! (If you missed these recipes, click on the links)

And if you really want to add flavor to your fajitas, add a little Home Made Crema (recipe found in the post New Mexico Chicken Enchiladas Verde…..sooooo good!

Home Made Mexican Crema

You can also substitute beef (flank steak would be a good cut) for the chicken.  

The rest of the directions are the same.

The printable recipe is below!

Enjoy all that extra time you will have….:)
