Per 1/10 Recipe Serving: 235 Cals |33P | 19C | 3F

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (each) 15oz can black & pinto Beans
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • Onions & peppers (12 oz frozen or 4 c fresh, sliced)
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning
  • Optional (not included in macros shown): cilantro, avocado, and/or lime to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients to a slow cooker.

2. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

3. When the chicken is cooked through, turn off heat and shred chicken with a fork.

4. If there’s more liquid than desired, use a perforated spoon or strainer to transfer the fajita mixture out of the liquid.

5. Serve over rice, in quesadillas or tacos, in burrito bowls, add the can of diced tomatoes for soup, or by itself (just be sure to track add-ons)

Tips

● If you’re adding peppers and onions straight from the freezer, you may want to drain the beans and Rotel to reduce the amount of water in the finished product.

● Chicken Fajita Soup option: Add one 15 oz can stewed tomatoes.

● If you’re using an Instant Pot, cook for 20 minutes on manual and quick-release pressure.
