Chicken Fajitas Recipe


serves two





Ingredients:





Lime Marinade:





juice squeezed from one whole lime


1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil


3 large cloves of garlic, crushed and/or minced


1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro


2 teaspoons dried oregano


2 teaspoons ground cumin


salt and pepper (to taste)


Fajita Filling:





2 chicken breast filets, marinated and sliced into strips


1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips


1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into strips


1/2 onion, sliced into strips


2 jalapenos, sliced into rounds


1 tomato, sliced into chunks


cooking oil


1/2 teaspoon cumin


1/2 teaspoon chili powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


a dash of freshly ground black pepper


Separate Fillings and Toppings:





Spanish rice


refried beans


sour cream


guacamole (optional)


salsa (optional)


fresh cilantro (optional)


Wraps:





flour tortillas





Preparation Instructions:





1. At least an hour before cooking, prepare a marinade for the chicken using the ingredients listed above under ';Lime Marinade.'; When the marinade is mixed, put the chicken in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over it (coating both sides of each filet), and refrigerate until cooking time.





2. Prepare the rice so that it will be done close to the time that the filling is cooked. Set aside on a warm burner if done early.





3. Meanwhile, wash all of the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Remove the skin from the onion and slice it into strips. Slice the jalapenos into rounds and the tomato into chunks. Remove the chicken filets from the marinade and slice into strips.





4. Start the refried beans heating over low to medium low heat.





5. Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) until it is smoking. Add a thin coating of cooking oil oil, then the chicken and all of the vegetables except the tomato. Fry until the onion is just translucent and the chicken is firmed and cooked, then add the tomato and seasonings and fry until the tomato is soft.





6. While the filling is cooking, warm the flour tortillas and prepare the other toppings. Serve the filling still sizzling, and combine it all in the flour tortilla wraps. Enjoy!





Note: For a vegetarian or vegan version of this dish, either prepare the recipe for these Roasted Vegetable Fajita Wraps or substitute a fake chicken product like Quorn Naked Chik'n Cutlets (or their Chik'n Tenders) and prepare it exactly as you would the chicken in this recipe. (Quorn products are not vegan, however. Check your packaging if you are vegan and using imitation meat products).Would like a recipe using quorn (chicken) style pieces have made curries, but would like something different?
Try the quorn website, its got some tasty recipes : )
Make a chilli or bolognese sauce instead, you don`t have to have these minced they are just as tasty made with pieces
try putting something like M S G in the recipe, i say tongue in cheek?
Fry off some chopped onion, add sliced red/yellow pepper and baby corn.





Fry for a couple of minutes and add the quorn pieces.


Fry for a couple of minutes and add half a bottle of Reggae Reggae Sauce and some fresh black pepper.
