Eddie's Kitchen: Fajitas
Hey guys, I know I promised you a while back to write a recipe for chilli con carne, but unfortunately I haven't got around to testing out the recipe myself, so I have decided to tempt you with a fajita first.
What will you need?
- 500 grams of chicken breast (approximately 3-4 breasts, sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 3 bell peppers (yellow, green and red, sliced thinly)
- Seasoning mix (chicken is okay, but if you can get a fajita seasoning pack from any supermarket)
- Salsa (mild, medium or hot - it depends how hot you want it)
- Grated cheese (a chedder and mozzerella mix works well)
- A little extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 8 tortilla wraps (these can be any size and any make)
Method
- Slice your chicken breast into 1cm slices (you will need a very sharp knife for this)
- Place your sliced chicken into a bowl with some EVOO and your seasoning mix
- You now need to get your hands in and mix your chicken, oil and seasoning until the chicken is covered (if you have rubber gloves, use them for this)
- In a HOT deep frying pan you need to add your chicken (using tongs or a fork you need to turn the chicken every 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked)
- Once your chicken is cooked, remove from pan and place in a large bowl
- Now to your pan add a little more EVOO, and your sliced onion and bell peppers. Allow to soften, stirring often
- In a dry frying pan, warm through the tortilla wraps for 10 seconds each side (or place all of them into a microwave for 45 seconds to a minute)
- Serve up and enjoy
How do you build a wrap?
- Place your wrap onto a plate
- Place 3-4 pieces of chicken in the centre of the wrap
- Place a couple of spoonfuls of the onion and peppers
- Place a dollop of salsa
- Place a small mound of cheese
- Fold up the bottom of the wrap, then the two sides
Chef's Tips
- For additional taste add some diced pancetta or smoked streaky bacon
I hope you enjoy this one, I will happily accept any ideas, comments and suggestions.

I'm a massive hot and spicy food fan - any chance of a recipe with some zing that's not something obvious like a curry or Mexican dish?
