Crock Pot Fajitas

This is good when you don't have a lot of time.
Cook on low heat for about 6 -8 hrs.

Throw in crockpot atleast 2 chicken breast you can put more depending on how many you are feeding. Then throw in a can of rotel tomatoes. If you do 4 chicken breast I would add 2 cans of rotel.

1 green pepper sliced
1/2 to 1 onopn sliced
cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Once done take 2 for and shredd chicken up. It is really good the chicken turns out very moiste.
Serve with tortillas, rice, beans and your toppings you like for fajitas.

Mexican Chicken Skillet

1 can black beans
1 cup white rice
1 can rotel tomatoes with chilies
2 cups of frozen corn
1/2 onion chopped
2 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheeses
2 handfuls of tortilla chips

In a large skillet add the rotel, frozen corn, chopped onion, cooked chicken, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper, rice and blk beans. I like to add more seasonings but do at your own taste. Cook over med heat for 15 min. Then let it set on low for another 10 min to let all the ingredints mix for flavor. Sprinkle with cheese and let it melt in pan. Then done! Use tortilla chips to scoop mixture or you can break them up.

Very simple and fast for a quick meal.
