Fajitas

Cooks Notes: I made this in the slow cooker. I do not recommend cooking it in the slow cooker. I have read many different recipes for slow cooker chicken fajitas and I do not think I will ever make this in the slow cooker again. My recommendation is to thaw this enough to cook on the stove top, or even to pull the chicken from the rest of the ingredients and grill the chicken. I still have two more servings of this recipe, so next time I will try this on the stove, and for the last bag I will have hubby slap it on the grill. We paired this with some re fried beans, and Spanish rice. Hubby had never had fajitas before since he doesn’t like assembling his own food when we go out and this was the first time I had ever made fajitas before, and hubby really enjoyed it. My niece loves fajitas and she really enjoyed this meal as well.
