Chicken Fajitas

I put fresh avocado in mine -- delicious!

Last night I tried Chicken Fajitas in the crock pot -- another Crockin' Girls recipe.  This one I found on their website, rather than in the cookbook.  I think it was the recipe of the week last week.  Anyway, it is actually from the Reynolds kitchens, which I assume is a sponsor of Crockin' Girls because they make crock pot liners.

It was really delicious!  But next time I'm cutting WAY back on the seasonings.  It calls for TWO packets of fajita seasoning, and I think one would be plenty.  I also used 1 cup of salsa, because 3/4 cup didn't seem like enough to me.

The best part of this recipe is you can just throw the chicken tenders in without cutting them up raw.  When it's done, you stir up the filling and the chicken breaks apart into large chunks.

Chris topped his with sour cream, and I put fresh avocado inside mine.  I put shredded cheddar inside all of them!

This is what they look like before wrapping them up.  (This one was for Chris -- no avocado!)

 

The filling warmed up on the stove top for lunch leftovers!
