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

  1. 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.
  2. Wash and slice the peppers and chop the onion.
  3. Before the last 2 hours of cooking, shred chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Then, add peppers, onion, black beans, corn, cooked brown rice, juice of another lime, and additional taco seasoning (to taste).
  5. Prior to serving, add fresh cilantro to taste.
  6. 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.
