Instructions

Place prepared bell peppers and onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add half of the diced tomatoes and sprinkle the garlic salt evenly over the top.
Lay the chicken over the top of the peppers and onions and sprinkle with taco seasoning and chili powder. Add the remaining diced tomatoes and place the lid on the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, or on low for 4½-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Once cooked, remove chicken from the slow cooker and place onto a cutting board. Slice into 1" strips, place into a separate bowl and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the chicken to season.
Serve chicken and vegetables in warmed tortillas with sour cream, avocados, salsa, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: store leftover chicken, peppers, and onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you have leftover toppings, you can store each topping in a separate container in the fridge, too.

Reheating: either microwave or warm a skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken, peppers and onions along with a little water, warming and stirring until they are warm all the way through.
