Ingredients
Fajitas
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 bell peppers red, yellow, and green, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
Fajita seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the fajita seasoning.
Coat the insert of the crockpot with olive oil and place the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers at the bottom of the crockpot.
Rub the chicken breasts with the fajita seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the onions and bell peppers in the crock pot.
Add the minced garlic to the pot over the chicken.
Cover the crockpot and cook on high heat for 2½ to 3 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and cut into strips, or shred it.
Return the chicken to the crock pot and stir it with the cooked onions, bell peppers, and garlic to combine all the flavors.
Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
Serve the chicken fajita mixture on warm tortillas. Add your desired toppings, such as cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or sliced avocados.
Serve with lime wedges.
