Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

I was looking for some new recipes to try recently and I have seen this one for a while on Team Beachbody's blog site.  It has been on my list to try and I am SOOOO glad I finally gave it a try.  It was easy to prep and do and didn't disappoint.  Not to mention short of the toppings you add if desired, dinner was in one pot and done!  Give it a try for a new "Mexican Monday", "Taco Tuesday" whatever you want to call it recipe!!!

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:
1 (14.5-oz.) can Diced Tomatoes (or diced tomatoes with green chiles), no salt added
1 med, Onion, cut into quarters, sliced
1 med. Red Bell Pepper, cut into strips
1 med. Orange Bell Pepper, cut into strips
2 tsp. Chile Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
½ tsp. Black Pepper
1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp. fresh Lime Juice
1 lb. raw Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless, (sliced if desired)
8 6-inch Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas, warm OR Corn Tortillas
½ cup Fresh Tomato Salsa
8 tsp. low-fat (1%) plain Greek Yogurt
½ medium Avocado, sliced (optional)
Finely chopped cilantro
Taco Toppings if desired - Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cheese, etc.
Directions:
1. Place tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, chile powder, cumin, pepper, and lime juice in a 3-quart slow cooker; mix well.
2. Add chicken; cook, covered, on low temperature for 4 to 5 hours (or on high or 2 to 3 hours), stirring once or twice, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
3. Evenly divide mixture between tortillas. Top evenly with salsa, yogurt, avocado, and cilantro.
Serves:  4, 2 Fajitas each (everything divided evenly among the tortillas)
21 Day Fix approved - I measured mine the following:
Chicken = 1 Red
2 corn tortilas = 1 Yellow
1/4 of a green container of cooked Peppers/Onion = 1/2 Green
Remaining Toppings into Green
Avocado OR Cheese = 1 Blue
Hope you enjoy this as m
