Equipment

Ingredients

1 large chicken breast (approx. 300g) butterflied and sliced into strips
2 peppers (any colours) deseeded and sliced
1 red onion thickly sliced
4 flour or corn tortilla wraps

For the marinade:

2 tbsp fajita seasoning – shop bought or homemade
2 tbsp olive oil
half a lime juice only
2 to 3 drops tabasco sauce (optional)

To serve (optional):

sour cream
pico de gallo salsa
avocado slices or guacamole
grated cheddar cheese or cotija (see Notes)

Instructions

Place the chicken, peppers and onion in a large plastic bowl, add the marinade ingredients. Stir well to combine and then set aside.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over a high heat until smoking (3 to 5 minutes). Add the marinated chicken, peppers and onions and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Toast the wraps over a gas flame for 10 seconds on each side, or warm through in the microwave.
Serve with your choice of optional sides…and enjoy!

Notes

Cotija cheese is a Mexican cheese that is similar to feta with a crumbly texture and salt flavour. It’s difficult to get locally, so I use feta instead.
Swap out the chicken for strips of beef or steak, or leave out meat entirely and add some more veg for a vegetarian option.
This chicken fajita recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
