CHICKEN FAJITA CHOWDER

Chicken Fajita Chowder image

This south-of-the-border chowder is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes, and it's a winner at family dinners and potlucks alike. We like ours topped with fresh avocado, shredded cheddar cheese and chili cheese corn chips. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
