This is an awesome quick throw together kind of meal - perfect for when you've had a busy day at work and need to get dinner on without much preparation. I had fajita seasoning at home which I used but you can create your own by following this recipe.
I didn't really follow any perfect quantities for this recipe but I'll try to put down some to give you an idea.
You could go vegetarian with this recipe if you prefer. I have also made it with large portobello mushrooms instead of the chicken and it tastes just as good.
Ingredients
1.5 chicken breast cut into strips
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 large onion
150 g mushrooms
Handful coriander chopped
3 tsp smoked paprika
3 tsp fajita seasoning
Olive oil to mix
Salt to taste
1 lemon
To serve - tortillas, salsa and creme fraiche
Method
1. Cut all the vegetables into strips and halve the mushrooms.
2. Throw in the vegetables and chicken on to a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
3. Sprinke fajita seasoning and smoked paprika. Add a glug of olive oil and some salt (if needed - this depends on how salty your fajita seasoning is).
4. Give it all a good mix until all the vegetables and chicken are coated with the olive oil and seasoning mix.
5. Bake in a hot oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 20 - 25 minutes
6. When done, take out of the oven, sprinkle with coriander and give it a good squeeze of lemon.
7. Roll up in a tortilla with salsa and creme fraiche and enjoy! You can use sour cream if you prefer but i used low fat creme fraiche.
