Chicken Fajitas and Crispy Wedges

Serves: 1

Preperation time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 25 mins


This has to be one of my all time favorite meals, it always reminds me of my days in school when every week a few of my friends would have 'fajita friday' over at my house. It's very easy to make for a big group of people expecially if you buy the pre made tortillas and spice mix. I tend to go with a rule of one chicken breast per person so just increase the ingredients in this recipe as is needed.


Ingredients




fajitas

• 1 chicken breast
• ½ green pepper
• ½ red pepper
• 2 tortillas
• 1 chilli
• pack of spice mix
• ½ teaspoon of all spice
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil

crispy wedges

• pack of frozen potato wedges
• spicy season all
• olive oil

Method


Wedges


1. place the frozen wedges on a baking tray and place them in the middle of a pre-heated oven at 220°C


2. After 5 minutes take the wedges out and sprinkle them with season all and a drizzling of olive oil, this will give them added flavour and ensure they come out crispy. Then place the wedges back in the oven for another 20 minutes.


Fajitas


1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips (this will mean it cooks quicker) and coat with the all spice, cayenne pepper and paprika.

2. de-seed and wash the peppers before finely cutting them into strips also chop the chilli and leave to the side.

3. Heat the oil in a fryingpan on a medium- high heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is just browning.

4. turn the heat down to meduim and add the peppers and chilli then mix all together.

5. Coat the entire mixture in the pan with the packet of spice, the more you put on the spicier the dish will be. Mix everything together and prepare to put into tortillas.

6. For the tortillas its a good idea to warm them first, the prefered way is in a dry frying pan by heating it up and putting the tortillas in for about 5 seconds on each side or a few seconds in the microwave will also do the job.

7. Place the filling into the warm torillas and serve with crispy wedges and salad. Enjoy :)
