Homemade Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 red onion, sliced

Cooking marinaded chicken

1 red pepper, sliced

1 carrot, chopped into sticks

1 courgette, sliced

A sprinkle of dried red chilli flakes (to personal taste)

Tbsp smoked paprika

Tbsp ground coriander

Pinch of cumin

Freshly ground black pepper

2 crushed garlic cloves

Lug of olive oil

Tbsp lime juice

Serve with:

8-10 tortillas

Salsa (Optional)

Lettuce (Optional)

Grated cheese (Optional)

Sour cream (Optional)
Guacamole (Optional)

Method:

1. Place all the chopped veg & chicken into a mixing bowl.
2. Add the chillies, spices, garlic, pepper, oil & lime juice & mix well into the chicken & veg.
3. Can be left to marinade for a few hours (but it is optional).
4. Heat a wok or griddle pan to hot & add the marinaded chicken mix.
5. Stir continuously until all the chicken appears white. Check chicken is cooked through (it is often quicker that you imagine it will be & if you leave it too long the chicken will be dry).
6. Serve with warmed tortillas, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, grated cheese & lettuce.
