Instructions
 

Prepare the salsa

  • Stir onion & tomato together in a dish
  • Juice over 1 lime & stir
  • Roughly chop a handful of coriander & stir into mix
  • Season with salt to taste
  • Pop in the fridge while you make everything else

Make the guacamole

  • Finely chop tomatoes (remove seeds)
  • Finely chop red onion
  • Roughly chop coriander
  • Next you'll peel and then smash your avocados in a bowl (the back of a fork will do the job nicely)
  • Stir through the tomatoes, red onion and coriander
  • Squeeze in lime juice, season with salt – stir well to combine
  • Store in the fridge until ready to serve

Prepare the chicken

  • Combine your spice mix ingredients in a bowl and stir well
  • Slice your chicken breast into bite-size pieces
  • Do the same with your peppers and onion
  • Warm your pan with 1tbsp oil. Once your pan is hot, add sliced chicken. Allow the chicken to get slightly golden in the pan for about 2 minutes
  • Once the chicken is golden, add the spice mix, 1 tbsp at a time and stir well to coat, add until your desired flavour is achieved (store the rest in an air-tight container for next time)
  • Allow the chicken to cook through, about 4-5 more minutes

Finishing

  • Warm your tortillas, according to packet instructions
  • Serve hot chicken fajitas mix with wraps, lettuce and all of the toppings!
