Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts or thighs. Cut them into strips or bite-sized pieces.
2. Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Assemble the Slow Cooker: Pour the diced tomatoes and salsa into the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the seasoned chicken pieces on top.
4. Add the Veggies: Scatter the sliced peppers and onions over the chicken.
5. Cook Low and Slow: Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.
6. Serve Up Your Fiesta: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir the chicken to combine it with the flavorful juices and vegetables.
7. Assemble Your Fajitas: Warm your tortillas according to package instructions. Serve the chicken fajita mixture over the tortillas and let everyone assemble their own fajitas with their favorite toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, or pico de gallo.

Tips:

• For thicker fajita sauce: If you prefer a thicker consistency for your fajitas, remove the chicken and vegetables to a plate after cooking. Turn the slow cooker to high and simmer the remaining juices for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Return the chicken and vegetables to the slow cooker and toss to coat.
• Chicken Alternatives: Feel free to substitute boneless, skinless turkey breast or thighs for the chicken, following the same cooking times.
• Veggie Variations: Add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or chopped poblano peppers for additional flavor and texture.
