Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large chicken breasts, finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced (optional)
1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground coriander
pinch of ground cumin
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
4 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, juiced
4-5 drops Tabasco
6 medium tortillas
bag mixed salad
230g tub fresh salsa

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.

QUICK CHICKEN FAJITA BURRITOS



Quick Chicken Fajita Burritos image

Always made with refried black beans, which is why I call them burritos. It just doesn't taste right with just meat and veggies. I also like to serve this dish with spinach instead of crunchy lettuce, because it's one of those things that you can easily sneak spinach into for the kids (as if they needed to grow any taller). There are much better recipes for fajitas out there that actually involve marinating or at least brining the chicken, which really does give it better flavor. This is the "quick and dirty" version.

Yield 5 burritos, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 chicken breasts, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup lime juice
4 tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can refried black beans
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup spinach, shredded
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
4 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons chili powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coriander

Steps:

  • Cook chicken in a large skillet with oil. Remove cooked chicken; cover and keep warm.
  • Add sliced veggies to pan and cook over high heat 10 minutes or until tender and blackened.
  • Stir in 3 tablespoons of fajita seasoning (recipe below), 1/4 cup water, and lime juice.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, heat beans until hot and shred the cheese. Briefly warm the tortillas.
  • Spoon beans, meat and veggies into tortillas and top with cheese, spinach and sour cream, or have people assemble themselves.
  • Combine last 10 ingredients in a lidded container - I used an old spice jar - and use 3 tablespoons to equal 1 packet of fajita or taco seasoning.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS



Quick and Easy Chicken Fajitas image

This is a recipe I recently adapted from Cooking Light - I was a little iffy at first about it b/c it didn't have any Mexican spices, but it ended up being really, really good. We used a Frontera (Rick Bayless's brand) salsa, and it worked really well with this. This is a super easy recipe and while you do have to wait for the marinade to marinate, the hands on time is pretty low.

Time 2h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup beer, they say to use Mexican dark but I used Budweiser
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime, the juice of the lime
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb chicken breast, skinless, boneless, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 flour tortillas
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
salsa

Steps:

  • Combine the first six ingredients, stirring well. Place chicken in a zip lock bag, and pour about half of the beer mixture to bag; seal and toss around. Place onion, bell peppers, and other half of beer mixture in another zip lock bag; seal and toss.
  • Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least one hour; marinate veggies at room temperature for at least one hour.
  • Add 1 tbsp of canola oil to grill pan, and heat over medium high heat. Remove onion and bell peppers from marinade, and add to pan. Add red pepper and salt to taste. Cook for 6 minutes, or until beginning to get tender; turn after three minutes. Add chicken to pan; cook 2 minutes each side or until done.
  • Warm tortillas if desired, and divide onion and chicken mixture evenly between tortillas. Add jalapeno, cilantro, and salsa as desired, and serve.
