SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Combine the chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss in a large bowl with the remaining chile powder mixture and 1 tablespoon oil.
• After the peppers are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, scatter the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken is cooked through and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with the lime juice.
• Serve with the warmed tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.

SUNNY'S QUICK SIZZLIN CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Seal, squish around a bit to mix and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• For the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the peppers and onions blend and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and set aside.
• On a large, seasoned cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat, add the chicken right from the marinade and spread it out so it doesn't steam; you may have to cook it in batches. Cook until the chicken is light golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Once a batch is finished, try to pile it on a cool area of the griddle until you finish the rest or pile in a bowl. Once done with the chicken, cook the veggies the same way.
• Pile the chicken and veggies back onto the griddle and gently spritz and sprinkle just enough beer to allow the griddle to steam a bit while tossing the chicken and veggies together just to warm through. Drink the rest of the beer. Serve with the fixins: tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.

STEAK AND CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Whisk the vegetable oil, lime zest and juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Put the steak in a medium bowl. Place the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound on both sides with the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy skillet until 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to a separate bowl. Divide the marinade between the steak and chicken and toss well. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Remove the steak and chicken from the marinade and season with salt. Grill, covered, 3 to 5 minutes per side for the steak and 6 to 7 minutes per side for the chicken. Transfer the steak and chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the bell peppers and onions with vegetable oil; season with salt. Cover and grill, turning, until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the cutting board. Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, flipping once, 5 minutes. Slice the bell peppers and separate the onions into rings. Slice the steak and chicken. Serve the meat and vegetables with the tortillas and assorted toppings.

BARBECUED CHICKEN FAJITA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Make the marinade. In a large bowl, juice both the limes. Add the oregano, spices, olive oil and garlic, and mix together. Dice the chicken, then get your child to stir it through the marinade, and set aside.
• Prepare the vegetables. Deseeding the peppers and halving the onion is tricky, so do this yourself. Children aged from about seven or above can cut them into chunks using a child-friendly knife.
• Make your skewers. Carefully thread alternate pieces of chicken, peppers and onion onto your skewers. Smaller children might find this a little hard, so the best way is to stab the ingredients and push them up the skewers. When you've used up all the ingredients, set aside. Can be made several hours ahead and chilled until ready to cook.
• Prepare the guacamole. Stone and peel the avocados, then tip into a bowl with the other ingredients. Get your child to use a potato masher to mash everything together and tip into a serving dish.
• Cook the skewers. Heat a barbecue or griddle pan. Cook the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning, until they are cooked all the way through. A child from the age of eight can watch over a griddle and turn the skewers with a pair of tongs. Serve the skewers on heated tortillas with the guacamole, soured cream, chopped coriander, lime wedges on the side and chilli sauce for those who like a touch of spice.

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS PLATTER

Steps:

• Whisk the lime, oil, garlic, salt and pepper until combined in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a 1-gallon plastic bag. Pour half of the lime mixture over the chicken; turn to coat. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Arrange the scallions, onions, green peppers and red peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the remaining lime mixture over the vegetables; turn to coat.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the lime mixture and bring to room temperature. Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes each side. Grill the vegetables until tender, turning frequently, about 10 minutes for the scallions and peppers and 15 minutes for the onions.
• Transfer the chicken to a work surface and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside the chicken for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the onions and peppers and arrange them on a platter with the scallions. Slice the chicken crosswise into strips and transfer to the platter. Serve with the Cheddar and sour cream.

BBQ CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken tenders in a medium bowl by sprinkling the BBQ rub seasoning over the chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers and salt. Toss to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onions are softened and starting to char, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the onions and peppers are cooking, make the crema: Whisk together the crema, chipotle, adobo sauce and garlic salt. Set aside.
• Prepare the sizzle sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, lime juice, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
• Remove the peppers and onions to a bowl and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the chicken. Sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Add the peppers and onions back to the skillet with the chicken. Toss to combine and cook until the vegetables are sizzling, about another minute. Add the sizzle sauce to the hot skillet, over the chicken and vegetables. Using tongs, toss to completely coat. Cook until the sauce starts to caramelize and the chicken is cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• To serve: Heat the tortillas on a griddle pan lightly greased with avocado oil until warm. Stack in a tortilla warmer or wrap in foil or a clean kitchen towel as they are done.
• Build the fajitas by placing the chicken topped with peppers and onions in the center of each tortilla. Squeeze some lime juice over the filling and season with salt. Top with the avocado, crema and cilantro. Serve.
