The very first time i made fajitas in the crockpot was when I found a recipe on a site I had just discovered Stacy makes cents, there are some amazing recipes on there, these ones came about because I didn’t have some of the ingredients or I had things to use up. With the leftovers we make taco soup for the next day’s lunch, all using only 1 chicken breast. For the enchiladas there is enough to make 6.
Homemade tortillas are the best, if you have ever been to Utah or Mexico they taste just like they make them in the street carts … Not Taco Bell or cafe rio the proper stuff made by Mexicans, I lost my recipe but I must start making my own again!
You will need…
Main mix
1 chicken breast
3 cups frozen peppers
2 handfuls of spinach
1 medium red onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Chilli powder
2 tsp Cumin
Lime juice
Water
Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the crock pot just to cover then add the vegetables.
Place chicken on top then sprinkle with chilli, cumin and garlic then squeeze half a fresh lime over everything.
Cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours until chicken easily shreds
Serve with homemade tortilla wraps, salad, cheese and sour cream
For the enchiladas
Mix 3/4 of a 500ml carton of passata into the shredded chicken and leave it for a further 30 mins
Preheat oven to 180 degrees c
Mix in a few handfuls of grated cheese then divide between tortillas and roll them up
Place in a oven proof dish and pour remaining passata over them and sprinkle with cheese
Bake in oven for about 10-15 mins
Serve with sour cream and salad
My husband loves fajitas and we usually have them during movie night. Will save this recipe 🙂
YUM!! Fajitas are one of our favourites and this looks like such a great way to make them. Going to try them out for sure!

One of my favourite meals. Can’t beat it with a cold beer 🙂
We have it with rootbeer ☺
We love making fajitas and enchilladas, never thought about making it in the crock pot though
This is brilliant. I was looking for a slow cooker recipe for dinner tonight. My husband is working late and we never know what time he will finish so slow cooker recipes are great for this!
I absolutely love Fajitas and this looks lovely. I always use my slow cooker x
Homemade Tortilllas sounds amazing! I love crock pots and Mexican food is a great crock pot meal to make!
This sounds great!! I like this different way to make them. We love fajitas at home too. I don’t cook but my husband does so I’ll show him this recipe! 🙂 x
So delicious, we love fajitas and have them on a weekly basis for dinner. I’ve never made them in a crock pot though, something to try for sure.
I really like the sound of this recipe. I think my family would enjoy it. We haven’t had mexican for ages!
Yum! Fajitas are our Friday meal and I’d love to try some new variations xx
