Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Fajita Seasoning

Truth be told, I prefer the taste of fajitas over tacos.  Since I'm not usually organized enough to purchase fajita seasoning before I crave them, I make my own seasoning.  Now don't ooh and ahh this statement.  It's easy and includes pantry staples.  Here's the recipe:

Fajita Seasoning

1 Tbsp corn starch
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Mix.  Makes approximately 3 Tbsp (about the same as a packet of pre made).

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

3 Green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
2 onions, halved and sliced
3 lb bag frozen chicken breast
3 Tbsp (full recipe) fajita seasoning

tortillas, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc for topping

Place onions and peppers in bottom of crock pot. Sprinkle with 1 tsp seasoning.  Top with frozen chicken breast and sprinkle with remaining seasoning.  Cook on low 8 hours.  Serve in tortillas with your choice of toppings.
