- For an authentic fajita flavor, use a fajita seasoning mix or blend your own with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. - To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or shrimp. - If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the chicken in a skillet or in the oven. - Be sure to slice the chicken and vegetables thinly so that they cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're making a large batch, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches. - Serve the chicken fajita bowls with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
