Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10-ounce) can mild diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 3 bell peppers (green, yellow, and red, sliced into strips)
  • 1 large yellow onion (sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (1.25-ounce) packet fajita seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
  • Soft shell fajita tortillas (warmed, optional for serving)
  • Fresh chopped cilantro (optional for serving)
  • Sour cream (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place the diced tomatoes, sliced peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, and chicken in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle fajita seasoning and black pepper over the chicken, then pour in the lime juice.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for about 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. Take out the chicken, shred it using two forks, and return it to the slow cooker. Stir to mix with the juices and veggies.
  5. Serve the mixture in warmed tortillas, garnished with cilantro and sour cream if preferred.

Notes

For extra heat, consider using spicy diced tomatoes instead of mild.
Ensure chicken is completely cooked and shreds easily before serving.
Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings, such as avocado or jalapeños.
