Notes
Storing leftovers: Simply fold the chicken mixture inside a tortilla and let them go cold. Put them in a container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. They’ll be delicious for lunch the following day and shouldn’t be too messy as there’s not loads of sauce. Also freezes for up to 3 months.
Heating up the tortilla wraps: If you want to warm your tortillas, wrap them all in foil and place them in the oven at 100°C fan/120°C/250°F/Gas Mark ½ while you prepare the fajitas.
To prep ahead: One thing I love about this dish is that I can easily cook the chicken and prep the sides earlier in the day, then just reheat the fajita chicken mix and dish out the sides at dinner time. So easy!
