Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup combines chicken breasts, fajita seasoning, vegetables like onion, bell pepper, black beans, corn, and canned tomatoes with chilies in a slow cooker for a flavorful, hands-off meal. The soup is finished with fresh cilantro and crispy tortilla strips, adding brightness and contrasting texture.
