Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
There is nothing better than walking in the door after a long day to the amazing aroma of chicken fajitas already made in the crockpot! The prep-time is minimal and the end result is the most flavorful chicken fajitas you have ever tasted. Once it is all cooked all you have to do is add your favorite toppings. My all-time favorite is my homemade fresh guacamole!!!
Topping Suggestions for Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
There are so many toppings that you can add to these slow cooker chicken fajitas but here are a few suggestions:
- Homemade Fresh Guacamole (yes, I said it again because it’s THAT GOOD)
- Creamy Dairy Free Coconut Sour Cream (or another dairy-free sour cream)
- Fresh Cilantro
- Cauliflower Rice
How Long Can I Store This?
This is one of those meals that it great for an easy weeknight meal and then I separate the leftovers out into easy to grab containers for lunch all week! It will keep in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. I just try to keep the fresh toppings in a separate container to maintain their freshness.
