Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

chicken breasts boneless (skinless)

olive oil

garlic powder

onion powder

tsp smoked paprika

tsp cumin

tsp black pepper

kosher salt

orange juice

red bell peppers

red onion

lime (1 juiced, and zest

In a small mixing bowl, whisk oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, juice of one lemon, zest of one lime, black pepper, and kosher salt.

Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag tightly and stir through the bag to evenly coat the chicken well with the marinade. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for a flavorful chicken.

Once finished cooking, remove the chicken from the pot and slice into strips. Add a squeeze of half a lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.

Serve fajitas in tortillas with your desired toppings.
