Servings 4 small servings
Ingredients
One pan chicken fajitas
- ½ red pepper
- ½ green pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- 2 limes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- fresh coriander
Guacamole
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 limes, juiced
To serve
- 2 small flour tortillas
- 180 ml natural yoghurt
- 75 grams Cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Halve the green and red pepper and deseed them both. Slice half of the pepper into long thin strips.
- Top and tail the onion and remove the outer skin, cut into thin slices. Slice the chicken into strips.
- Put the chicken, peppers, and red onion in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika and cumin. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over everything, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Put it in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes or more. If you’re short on time, just move on to the next step.
- Oil a baking tray. Using tongs, place the pepper, onion, and chicken strips onto the oven tray. Make sure each piece has its own space and cook for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Turn the pieces over once halfway through your cooking time.
- Meanwhile, in a blender mix the cherry tomatoes, avocado and lime juice to make the guacamole.
- When ready, remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven and sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves to garnish.
- Serve with warm tortilla wraps, grated cheddar cheese, natural yoghurt and creamy guacamole. Enjoy!
