Recently, I’ve experimented making slow cooker/crockpot fajitas. The first time was not so great. I put the onion and peppers in too soon and they got too soft. This resulted in a soup-like consistency. The second time they turned out perfect! I made them for Cinco de Mayo for my family who all said they were fantastic. I paired them with my ‘famous’ Pina Coladas and the best gauc ever! You can find the recipes in this post.
First, take the most amazing fajita marinade that I’ve blogged about here (ingredients below) and put them in crockpot.
Add chopped chicken. Cook on slow for 3-4 hours.
Next, cut up onion and peppers and put them in a deep stove top pan.
Use a measuring cup or laddle spoon about 3 cups of the marinade int0 the deep pan and cook on medium-high heat. Stir often.
Once the onions and peppers are soft, pour them back into the crockpot.
Put crockpot heat to warm and leave until before serving.
Drain off extra marinade before serving.
Enjoy!

P.S. In case you noticed, yes I used the same main image on my original recipe as well as this one. They are the same recipe, just different ways of cooking—so I thought it would be okay :).
These sound amazing! I love the smell of fajitas and those peppers and onions are so bright and colorful! I am going to have to try these soon! We loooove Mexican food!
These look great! I’ve never made fajitas in the crockpot before but I’m always looking for new crockpot ideas! I’ll definitely try these. Thanks for sharing!
