Slow cooker chicken fajitas

Fajitas are a great dinner dish that can easily be made at home. Don’t think of this dish as restaurant only. We have a simple slow cooker recipe your whole family will love.

Chicken fajitas don’t have to be a restaurant only meal. While this version might not come out on a sizzling plate, it is still just as delicious. We made them in the slow cooker, and, after 8 hours, we were rewarded with perfectly cooked and spiced dinner. Warm up some tortillas, and the meal is complete.
