Key Ingredients
Chicken Breasts – boneless, skinless cuts that cook up tender and shred easily.
Fajita Seasoning – one McCormick packet (or your own cumin-chili-paprika blend) to harness that classic fajita flavor.
Onion & Bell Peppers – a diced white onion plus one red and one green pepper for color and crunch.
Garlic – a couple of minced cloves for fresh, sharp depth.
Chicken Broth + Cream Cheese – about 3 cups broth for body, finished with an 8-oz brick of cream cheese that melts into creamy goodness.
Black Beans & Corn – canned, drained, for hearty Tex-Mex texture and a touch of sweetness.
How to make Chicken Fajita Soup
- Add the chicken, seasoning, veggies, beans, corn, broth, and cream cheese to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and everything’s warmed through.
- Shred the chicken, stir everything together, and it’s ready to serve.
How to serve:
- This fajita soup recipe can always be served as is, but if you’re looking to add a bit more to it, try topping it with cheese, chopped green onions, diced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and sour cream
- You can also serve this soup with tortilla chips or fritos, crushed up on top. Add a side of cornbread or charred flour tortillas to make it more filling.
- If you love fajita recipes, you’ll love my Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas or Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas.
Sarah’s Tips & Variations
Seasoning Swap: You can use taco seasoning mix instead of the fajita if needed.
Dairy Free: Skip the cream cheese if you have dietary restrictions; the soup is still amazing without it.
Lower the carbs: Instead of beans and corn, add zucchini and more chicken.
Different Meat: Ground beef is a great switch up- be sure to brown it in a skillet before adding to the crockpot.
Double Batch: Make a double batch so you have lunches all week.
