Crockpot Chicken Fajita

We love going out to eat at Mexican restaurants, but a few chips and drinks later, I have completely ruined all my progress for the week! Of course we treat ourselves occasionally, this is a cheaper and much healthier alternative!! 

Simple, easy, and healthy this is how I love dinners around our house. Throw all the ingredients together in the morning, turn the crockpot on, and wallah dinner is done!!
