SLOW COOKER FAJITAS



Slow Cooker Fajitas image

"I love fajitas like they serve in Mexican restaurants, but when I prepared them at home, the meat was always chewy," explains Katie Urso of Seneca, Illinois. "Then I tried this recipe in my slow cooker, and my husband and I savored every last bite. Fresh cilantro gives these fajitas the extra punch that makes them taste truly authentic."

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN FAJITAS

I searched high and low for a great recipe for slow cooker fajitas before I came up with this. The best part for me is that I don't have to defrost the meat before I throw it in there. Also, this makes a very large batch, so it's good for big families or a crowd of guests.
