Keep the kitchen cool by making these easy Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken Fajitas!
Hi again! This is a great summer recipe. I often make chicken fajitas in the oven, but it is way to hot to do this lately. I throw this in the slow cooker after lunch and dinner is a breeze to put on the table. All I have to do is heat up tortillas, and get the toppings out of the fridge.
These fajitas are seasoned with salt, pepper, chili powder, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and small amount of oil. I add the oil to flavor the chicken, peppers and onions, it almost makes a dressing with the seasonings, garlic and lime juice.
Below is what is looks like after cooking for 4 hours on high.
Pile up the chicken and veggies on warmed tortillas then top with desired toppings.

I hope you enjoy this easy recipe! I will be back on Monday with the Vintage Slow Cooker Recipe of the Month! Stay tuned.
