Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

7 boned and skinned chicken breast halves -- cut in strips

2 onions ? sliced

2 green bell peppers -- cut in strips

2 red bell peppers -- cut in strips

2 jalapeno chile pepper ? chopped

4 cloves garlic ? minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

28 ounces tomatoes, canned

1/4 cup water

8 flour tortillas

 

Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.  Serve with salsa.


I'm in the process of making this, but I've got a few questions:

--I don't have any groud coriander.  Is there something else I can substitute for it or should I just leave it alone?

--should I drain the can of tomatoes before putting them in?


TIA  ( i suck at cooking)

I am still getting into this cooking thing. I am not good at it but I try. I would just leave out the coriander. I don't know of a substitute.
I would drain the tomatos but it wouldn't hurt if you didn't drain them. Either way would be fine or at least for my cooking it would be ok.

Coriander- Cilantro or Tumeric (probably can be skipped)
You will need the juices in the tomatoes. Crock pots need a lot of liquid for cooking. Don't drain.

You could try using cilantro. 

I would drain the tomatoes first, if the mixture looks like it needs some juice then I would add some in.  YOu can always put more moisture in but you can't really take it out. 

PS: the recipe sounds fantastic!!!

I would say coriander could be let out.

Don't drain the tomatoes (normally I would drain), but not for a crockpot or things that need some liquid.

terragon, dill or cilantro are all good subs for coriander.

Don't drain the tomatoes, crock pots need the juices

You can either leave the coriander out, or add half that in dried  cilantro,  full amount in fresh.

Leave the tomato liquid in, crockpots will use a ton of liquid.
