- 3 medium Bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 large Onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika

- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional)
- 8 pieces Tortillas (flour or corn)

Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables: slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips, and mince the garlic.
In the crock pot, add the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the seasoned tomato mixture. If desired, drizzle the olive oil over the chicken for added richness.
Layer the sliced onions and bell peppers over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix it into the vegetables and sauce.
Warm your tortillas in a skillet or microwave just before serving.
Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas and add any desired toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, or fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful chicken fajitas!
