“Staying at home with a 9-month-old makes preparing dinner a challenge, but a slow cooker provides an easy way to make a low-fat meal,” says Sarah Newman of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. “The tender meat in these fajitas is a hit, and the veggies and beans provide a dose of fiber!”

Was slighly runny, but a slotted spoon does the trick. I ate it with sourcream and lettuce. It was amazing. Everyone loved it!

This was amazing! It was a little watery but over rice it was still amazing!

This was a great recipe! It was a little bland, (still very good) I will be adding a jalapeno, or a dash of Cayenne pepper for more kick next time! Easy to leave in the fridge for a quick heat and eat meal!

This was really easy and tasty. Everyone in my family actually ate it! The only issue is that there was a lot of liquid - maybe because I used frozen chicken. It was almost a soup! Way too runny for tortillas but great over rice.

Since i don't always have tortillas on hand, I tend to make this "saucier" and serve it over pasta, noodles, or rice. It's never let me down, and is pretty adaptable to whatever is on hand..This recipe is a staple at my house.

Excellent! Wasn't expecting much from crockpot fajitas but got so much more! I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs. I used 2 pounds of chicken and increased the tomatoes by 1 can and the beans by 1 can. I added more than double the garlic and pumped up the spices. I used just the 3 peppers despite doubling the recipe. Next time, I won't double the tomatoes when doubling the recipe because it was too much sauce, however, this was incredible tasting. I'm an experienced cook and make fajitas often. This is my favorite now! Not to mention so simple. Thank you for posting!

next time I think we will do it over rice instead of tortilla's because it was very juicy. This was very tasty and will be added to our crock-pot favorites!

This is one of our favorite recipes! It says 6 servings, but we've prepared it for as many as 10 people before - and they weren't being polite on their servings either! It's delicious!

I have made this several times and the whole picky family loves it. You can add less meat and more beans etc. any way you want to and mix it up. Yum!

We haven't even had dinner yet, but this has been in the crockpot all day, and I know it's going to be a great meal. I just pulled out the chicken to shred it, and the meat was so tender, it completely fell apart. I used frozen chicken instead of the thawed, and it has been cooking for about 8 hours. We'll add sour cream, shredded cheese and salsa to ours. Can't wait!

This is a fantastic recipe and have been making it for quite sometime. My son and I are both very picky eaters and the two of us fight over it. I've passed this recipe on to co-workers and friends and they I have yet to hear one negative complaint.

This was so easy and delicious! I didn't have to heat the whole house up to make dinner, which is a plus in the warm summer months. I have made this twice now and the second time I put the chicken breasts in still frozen - turned out great both times! Thanks for a great recipe!

My kids loved these and they usually hate peppers and kidney beans. No one even missed the cheese. they were just fine without.

This was super easy and filled the house with a great aroma. I know this recipe is low-fat, but we served it with cheese and sour cream. I don't know if it would be as good without cheese. The flavor was great. Even all of our kids liked it, even though they saw the amount of peppers going in! The peppers cook down so they aren't as obvious as a stirfry fajita would be. We are adding this to our regular rotation of meals.
