SLOW COOKER FAJITAS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Slow Cooker Fajitas Recipe: How to Make It image

I love fajitas like they serve in Mexican restaurants, but when I prepared them at home, the meat was always chewy. Then I made these slow cooker fajitas, and my husband and I savored every last bite. Fresh cilantro gives these fajitas the extra punch that makes them taste truly authentic. —Katie Urso, Seneca, Illinois

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in half
2 tablespoons taco seasoning

  • Add the remaining peppers and onions, cover and any remaining lime juice.

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and pepper and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is golden (it doesn't have to be completely cooked through at this point).

To the slow cooker, add tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook on high for 4 hours, until chili has thickened. Check for seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cheese and green onion, if desired.
