EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS

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.

NAPA DAVE'S CHICKEN FAJITA RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine well. Add the chicken and the vegetables.
• Let this marinate at least 15 minutes, but no more than an hour so the mix doesn't get mushy.
• Heat a large flat griddle or a large frying pan to high heat. Cook the mix in several batches so that the mixture is not crowded in the pan- it will brown much easier and taste better that way. It takes about 6-8 minutes each batch to get them noce and browned. Turn the mixture occasionally as it cooks to get the browning even.
• Add the mixture back onto a clean bowl as you cook the rest- cover the bowl with a large plate so the vegetables will continue to steam and get soft.
• Heat the tortillas as you normally do- we throw ours on the grill before we start to warm them. We then keep them in a covered bowl where they are easy to pull out to serve!
• We usually serve these family style- with the bowl of fajitas in the center of the table and everyone builds their own!

DAVE'S FAJITAS

Steps:

• Marinade meat with lime juice, garlic, cumin and oil for at least 1/2 hour, but 2-4 hours would be better. Grill meat (keep a little on rare side) then let meat rest for at least 5 minutes. After rest slice meat into thin strips. Mix peppers and onions in large pan. Sprinkle w oil, mix, then roast in oven at 400 until almost done approx 20 - 30 minutes. Stir after 10 minutes then again after every 5 minutes or so. Mix sliced meat(include any juice) and black beans to peppers/onions and give a little extra final roasting in oven until beans are hot and meat and pepper mix are fully cooked. Heat tortilla over open flame on stove then fill with roasted mixture. Top with cheese, cilantro and hot sauce.
