Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas



These crock pot Fajitas were beyond easy (although regular fajitas aren't exactly taxing either) and had good flavor.  The only thing is that they don't really come out exactly like regular fajitas.  The chicken is shredded and the peppers and onions are softer than I usually like in my fajitas. The flavor is there, but don't expect it to look exactly like a fajita.  I ended up making a fajita bowl with some brown rice and black beans, as you can see in the pictures, and I thought it was really good.
