Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
  • 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.
  • To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half - if any part is still raw cook until done.
  • 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.

MARGARITA FAJITAS CHICKEN

This recipe was inspired by a meal I had at a local restaurant. The marinade is also great if you want to leave the chicken breasts whole and grill out in the summer. Of course, a good margarita or sangria are my beverages of choice with this dish.

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
  • Add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • (Overnight works best, if possible) Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
  • When thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
  • Add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
  • Heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
  • If you don't have a tortilla warmer, I've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
  • Place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
  • Top as desired with remaining ingredients.
  • It's kinda fun to let people create their own.
