Fajitas are a quick and easy meal idea – and assembling them individually means that everyone gets to add the ingredients they like best.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fillets
- 2 red capsicums
- 12 fajita tortillas
- 1 curly green lettuce, leaves separated
- 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Marinade
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
Method
- Step 1Thinly slice chicken fillets across the grain. Place into a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
- Step 2Make marinade: Add garlic, oil and lime juice to chicken. Toss to coat. Cover. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
- Step 3Lightly grease and preheat a chargrill or barbecue plate on medium-high heat. Thinly slice capsicum lengthways, discarding seeds and membrane. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning often, or until just tender and slightly charred.
- Step 4Increase heat to high. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Cook chicken, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Step 5Warm tortillas, following packet directions. Arrange on a platter with chicken, capsicum, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. Let everyone assemble their own fajitas
