Rainbow Slow Cooker Fajitas

Standard

I found this amazing recipe through my Pepperplate app. (If you have not heard about Pepperplate – you do not know what you are missing!) I will devote a separate post just on Pepperplate and all the reasons you will love it! Recipe title slightly adapted from the country cook, as seen on TastyKitchen.com, which is a fantastic recipe blog.

3 Bell Peppers, Sliced (Yellow, Orange, and Red)
1 Large Onion, Sliced

Serve with soft tortillas and any toppings you like. Ideas: fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and cheese. I wish I could add a link to how wonderful this smells! Enjoy!
