Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
3 bell peppers a mix of any color
1/2 a medium sized onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Fajita Seasoning recipe below
2 limes
Tortillas cheese, limes, sour cream, cilantro or any other favorite toppings

Fajita Seasoning

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Calde de Tomat tomato bouillon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the 9 spices for the Fajita Seasoning. If you don't have Caldo de Tomate, use dry chicken bouillon or omit.
Cut bell peppers and onion into julienne-style strips and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add minced garlic and stir together. Season with a pinch or two of kosher salt.
Rub dry spice mixture into both sides of each breast and place chicken on top of vegetables in a even layer.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours.
Ladle out about half of the liquid from the slow cooker. Shred chicken in the slow cooker and stir in juice of two limes. Cover and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cheese or cilantro.

Notes

If you’re feeling fancy, you can make your own tortillas (here’s a great recipe) but you can buy them at the grocery store and they are almost as good. Especially if you heat them on the flame of your stove, which is how I love them.
