Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 380kcal
Equipment
- Large frying pan or griddle pan
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 bell peppers cut into strips
- 1 large onion sliced
Fajita Marinade
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- juice of one lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- generous pinch of salt and pepper
To Serve
- warm tortillas
- guacamole
- sour cream
- pico de gallo
- grated cheese
- shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Get all your toppings prepared before you start cooking - the fajitas are best served straight away.
- Add all the marinade ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
- Cut the chicken into thin strips, add to the marinade and mix together so all the chicken is fully coated. Allow to sit while you slice the vegetables.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium to high heat and pour in the chicken plus all the liquid from the marinade.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing regularly, then add in the sliced onions and peppers.
- Cook, continuing to toss everything regularly, until the chicken is cooked through fully and the peppers and onion have softened a little.
- Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your choice of toppings. I like to place the warm pan in the middle of the table along with all the toppings so everyone can help themselves!
