Instructions
Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Thinly slice the white onion as well.

Add the minced garlic on top of the chicken, followed by the sliced bell peppers and onion.
Pour the can of diced tomatoes over the vegetables and chicken, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture for a fresh kick of flavor.
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 tender and fully cooked.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, mixing it well with the vegetables and juices.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet. Serve the chicken fajita mixture in the tortillas and garnish with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or fresh cilantro.
