Chicken Fajitas at home


Ingredients:

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast 
1 lemon
1 large onion (sliced into 1/2 inch pieces)
3 bell peppers of various color (sliced into 1/2 inch pieces)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8 tortillas (corn or flour)
Guacamole, salsa and sour cream for serving.

Method:

  • Cut the chicken into long thin stripes.
  • Marinade chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, chilli powder, cumin powder,  ground black pepper, and salt. Cover and leave it for 20 minutes.
  • Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Add a tbsp of oil.
  • As soon as oil begins to smoke lay the marinated chicken pieces. Let the chicken cook for 2 - 3 mins. (toss in between)
  • Add sliced onion and bell peppers. Leave it for 15 - 20 mins or until chicken cooked well. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and switch off the stove.
  • Now serve the chicken fajitas on tortillas with guacamole, salsa and sour cream.
(Note : Instead of tortillas we rolled this chicken fajitas with our Indian bread and it tasted good. )
