Receta Crockpot Chicken Fajitas
Sunday, April 22, 2012
I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it looked so good and so easy that I just had to try it. Plus I had a couple red peppers and a green pepper that needed used... I added some garlic and used fresh lime juice, but otherwise followed the recipe. Here's mine with those slight changes:
Crockpot Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 sweet peppers, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1lb. boneless chicken breast or thighs
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- Juice of 1 lime
Directions:
Combine sliced onion, peppers and garlic in the bottom of a crockpot. Lay chicken on top of veggies. Pour chicken broth over top. Sprinkle everything with cumin, salt, and chili powder. Squirt the lime juice over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
When meat is done, shred with two forks and stir back into juices. Serve on tortillas with your choice of fixings.
Fixings:
shredded cheese
salsa
sour cream
cilantro
sliced green onions
other (whatever you like on your fajitas or tacos)
Seasonings on top
Let me just say that these are amazing! A-MAZING! They are so easy, and they taste so good. I'm not completely sure I'd call them fajitas, but they do have the sliced onions and peppers that are traditionally in fajitas, so we'll just go with it - and that's what the original recipe was called. I served them with some Cilantro Lime Rice - stir chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil into cooked rice - and they were perfect!
After the chicken has been shredded
Then I stirred the leftover chicken mixture into the leftover rice, and we had that a couple days later - again wrapped up in tortillas with all the fixings. Oh, and I stirred some black beans in - perfection!!
I will definitely be making these again. YUM!!
