Crockpot Delish Fajitas

Hey there, hungry folks! Let me tell ya, these Crockpot Delish Fajitas are like a little fiesta for your taste buds! We’re talking about tender chicken, a colorful medley of peppers, and all those happy spices slow-cooked to perfection. Toss everything in and let the crockpot do the work while you dance around the kitchen or, you know, catch up on that true crime podcast. What’s not to love about easy, delish, and not needing to babysit a pot?

So, let me take you back a few months to a day when I was running late and in a bit of a mess. I threw these fajitas together in a wild frenzy of pepper slices and hurried chopping. My husband and our little foodie offspring have turned this into their most requested “mom, do that thing you do with fajitas!” meal. Plus, the beautiful chaos of everyone building their own fajita at the dinner table? Priceless. We’re talking serious family bonding (and serious munching).

Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Delish Fajitas

– You toss everything in a pot and walk away like a culinary hero.
– Spices like paprika and cumin? They make you feel exotic without needing a passport.
– Great excuse to use up that bag of bell peppers before they decide to become roommates with your old lettuce.

How to Make It

Alright, buddy, let’s get this fiesta rolling! Start by slicing up all your peppers and onions like you’re in a ’90s cooking show, you know, with flair and a little chaos. Throw those babies into your crockpot because they’re the base of all that fajita flavor magic. Add in some chicken – thighs or breasts, whatever, I ain’t picky. Sprinkle in your fajita seasoning like you’re practically a spice wizard at this point. Pop the lid on, set it, and don’t forget to dance a little as that crockpot starts doing its thang. Six hours on low should do it.

Oh, need a tip? Mash it all together with a fork and you’re ready to rock those taste buds right off.

Ingredient Notes

– Bell Peppers: Seriously, use any color you like. It all ends up sizzling together beautifully.
– Chicken Thighs: Thighs keep it juicy. Trust me, chewy chicken ain’t it, folks.
– Garlic: Who measures garlic? Just toss some in and thank me later.

3. Cover and set crockpot to low for 6 hours.

Tips & Mistakes

Don’t skip the lime squeeze at the end. Trust me, a little citric zip at the end pulls it all together.

Storage Tips

Leftovers? Absolutely yes. Just pop them in the fridge and warm them up for lunch the next day. You’ll feel like a genius as you dig into those flavors again. Had it cold once, pretty tasty. I won’t judge if you go there.
