I doubled this recipe skipped the liners used Pace Cilantro Lime salsa and homemade fajita seasoning. I DID NOT add the peppers onion and garlic to the crockpot to cook all day. Instead I sauteed them when I got home then folded it into the cooked fajita meat. VERY good. I paired this with spanish rice and refried beans. Read More

This recipe didn't work for me at all. The chicken fell apart to the point we renamed the dish "Pulled Mexican Chicken" Plus the meat was dry and the veggies were soggy even though I put them when it only had 45 minutes left and it was way to soupy.. to the point it turned the tortillas soggy when we assembled them Tried draining but no luck. I never had dry meat but I had to drain juice off.. I did like the idea of the salsa instead of water. Next time I think I will make fajitas the old fashioned way and use the slow cooker to keep them warm. The searing helps keeps the breast meat moist. Read More

This made some of THE BEST fajitas I have ever had in my life. I did tweak one part of the recipe though. Instead of using store-bought fajita mix I made the Allrecipes Fajita Seasoning and used 7tbsp of it in the recipe. Mind blowingly awesome! Read More

Fantastic recipe. I wolfed down two servings and am looking forward to re-heating it for lunch today. I cooked on high for about 3.5 hours. There was not a whole lot of liquid so I flipped the chicken/stirred a couple times to make sure everything was heated through. Didn't bother with the liner. Recipe is definitely a do-again.

I made this recipe exactly as the recipe states except for using frozen chicken breasts and homemade fajita seasoning. It was very well received at dinner last night but next time I would add the peppers half way through cooking. My peppers/onions were basically cooked away even though I sliced them fairly thick. I would probably also increase the amount of peppers/onions and garnish with chopped cilantro. I used the liner which was absolutely wonderful! Thanks Reynolds! Read More

Very good and easy!!! I followed the recipe to the T. I did cook on low for about 7 hours and the chicken just fell apart when stirred. These were so easy and and so good! I will definitely be making them again. My son and husband loved them as well! Read More

Turned out really well. I put the tortillas in a skillet sprinkled with shredded cheese and added the meat mixture and more cheese. Slid onto a plate when cheese was melted and then dressed with lettuce sour cream jalapenos salsa. Delicious! Read More
