Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas Ingredients
Chicken breast is the star of the show here, everything else will be used to elevate that chicken to a new level. Some ingredients like the olive oil and the fajita seasoning will be used to cook the chicken, everything else like the frozen corn, frozen fajita veggies, and the black beans will be used to add flavor and spice to the dish.
Serving Ingredients
These ingredients act as an extra blast of flavor when you add them. Think sour cream or shredded vegan cheese. You could add whatever you like but a few things that are recommended include things like vegan shredded cheese, tortilla chips, tortillas, butter lettuce, and salsa.
You don’t have to add anything if you don’t want to. But you should try some new things every now and then to see what works for you and what doesn’t.
Directions
Add Olive Oil to slow cooker and turn on low.
Place chicken in slow cooker with fajita seasoning to preference. You can use any fajita seasoning with this recipe; we love the Los Olivos seasoning and use 3 Tbsp of that with the recipe.
Cook on low for 6 hours. Add corn, fajita vegetables, and black beans.
Cook on low for 1-2 more hours.
Serve as desired and offer variety for everyone in the family. My husband loves using tortillas, I make a salad with it and the kids scoop it with chips.
Cheese can be added for those that want it. However, I am dairy free and these slow cooker chicken fajitas are delicious without any dairy at all! If you are looking for more dairy free dinner options, you should try this post full of dairy free crockpot recipes!
