Description
Easy crockpot chicken fajitas can be served in tortillas or over greens for meal prep chicken burrito bowls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken Breasts or 1 lb Chicken Tenders
- 12 oz Pico de Gallo or salsa of choice
- 3 Bell Peppers
- 1/2 Red Onion
- 1 can Black Beans, 15 oz
- 1 can Corn, 15 oz
- 1 c Brown Rice, cooked or steam in a bag
- Taco Seasoning of choice
- Juice of 2 limes
- Cilantro and minced garlic to taste
- Optional: Corn/flour tortillas, fresh greens, avocado, tortilla chips
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts or tenders in a crockpot with the juice of 1 lime, pico de gallo or salsa and taco seasoning to taste. Cook on high, 4-6 hours or on low, 6-8 hours.
- Wash and slice the peppers and chop the onion.
- Before the last 2 hours of cooking, shred chicken in the crockpot.
- Then, add peppers, onion, black beans, corn, cooked brown rice, juice of another lime, and additional taco seasoning (to taste).
- Prior to serving, add fresh cilantro to taste.
- Stir and enjoy served on tortillas or over fresh greens for a fajita taco salad or burrito bowl.
Notes
*You can also toss all ingredients into the crockpot and set on the 6-8 hour setting before leaving for work. I prefer to add the veggies towards the end to avoid them getting too mushy.
**I personally double this recipe or at least double the chicken (4 chicken breasts) to ensure I have leftovers for the week or to store in the freezer for another meal.
