Serving Suggestions
These slow cooker chicken fajitas are not only super tasty, but they’re really versatile too! I love to stuff tortillas with it to make chicken fajita tacos but they are also great to place on top of burrito bowls or a salad, and serve with desired garnishes. Serving them with rice is always a good option too!
Benefits of using a Crockpot
Making these chicken fajitas in a Crockpot works so well! The ingredients are slow cooked, so the chicken is beautifully tender and it allows the flavors to really develop. I also love that you just dump all the ingredients in one pot and let it do it’s thing until you are ready to serve. Mexican meals just got easy!
