Chicken Fajita Recipe

 

Did you know that the word Fajita was not seen in print until 1971? It is fascinating to think that there ws a tie when not so many people knew about this spicy delight. This dish can be made using such a wide variety of meaty fillings. But for the sake of this recipe, we will go for a fan favourite in using Chicken Breast.
 

What You Will Need:

•  

• 2 large chicken breasts, finely sliced

• 1 red onion, finely sliced

• 1 red pepper, sliced

• 1 red chilli, finely sliced (optional)

• 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika

• 1 tbsp ground coriander

• pinch of ground cumin

• 2 medium garlic cloves, crushed

• 4 tbsp olive oil

• 1 lime, juiced

• 4-5 drops Tabasco

 

How To Prepare:

• STEP 1
  Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.

 

• STEP 2
  Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.

•  

• STEP 3
  Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.

•  

• STEP 4
  Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.

•  

• STEP 5
  Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.

•  

• STEP 6
  To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half – if any part is still raw cook until done.

• STEP 7
  Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.
