FAJITA FIESTA

In case you were looking for it, this is proof that Mexican food can be healthy AND tasty. 

My favorite thing about the slow cooker is that I can throw all the ingredients in and then even at the end of a super crazy day, there's a home-cooked and healthy meal ready to eat. This is really a staple in my kitchen.

These slow cooker fajitas are so simple to throw together, so full of flavor and so yummy. Even better...they're made with clean ingredients that will make your bod feel great.
