The Best Slow Cooker Fajita Recipe

The Best Slow Cooker Fajita Recipe

Recently, I’ve experimented with 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 guac ever! You can find the recipes in this post.

Ingredients for the Best Slow Cooker Fajita Recipe

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken, chopped into 1-2″ pieces
1/4 Cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 Cup water
1/4 Cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic crushed
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
To add later:
1- red pepper
1-green pepper
1-yellow or orange pepper
1- large yellow onion

Directions on how to make this Best Slow Cooker Fajita Recipe

1. First, take the most amazing fajita marinade that I’ve blogged about here (ingredients below) and put them in the crockpot.

2. Add chopped chicken. Cook on slow for about 4 hours.

3. Next, put onion and peppers in crockpot and cook on med-high heat for one hour. Turn crockpot to warm if not serving immediately.

4. Drain off the extra marinade before serving.

Optional… If you are out or at work and cannot to get back to throw the onion and peppers in the crockpot, leave the chicken marinating longer and before serving put onions and peppers in a stove top frying pan. Spoon about 3 cups of the marinade from the crockpot into the frying pan cook them on medium high heat until soft.

    The Fajita marinade sounds really good. The colorful final output is very catchy and I hope I’ll get the same taste when I try it myself. My family enjoys anything Mexican and I’m sure they will definitely love this too.
