Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) sliced chicken breasts or beef strips
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Flour or corn tortillas for serving

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the chicken or beef, peppers, and onions. Mince the garlic and prepare your spices, ensuring everything is ready for the slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Rub this spice mixture over the sliced meat, then set aside for a few minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Place the marinated meat in the crockpot, then add the sliced peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Pour lime juice over the ingredients for an extra zesty flavor. Cover with the lid.
  4. Set your Crock-Pot to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process ensures tender meat infused with the aromas of the spices.
  5. Once cooked, shred the meat if needed and serve hot on warm tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, cheese, sour cream, or your favorite toppings for an authentic Mexican dinner experience.
