Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive oil
600 g Chicken breast Diced
4 tbsp Fajita seasoning
2 tbsp Tomato puree
100 ml Boiling water

To serve:

8 Mini tortilla wraps
120 g Sour cream
1 Large avocado Sliced
1/2 Red onion Finely chopped

100 g Cheddar cheese Grated
1 Lime Cut into wedges

Metric - Imperial

Instructions

Pan fry first: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat, then add the chicken breast and fajita seasoning and cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Make a little sauce: Add the tomato puree and boiling water and stir everything together then remove the pan from the heat.
Optional: If you have a gas hob, char the tortillas on each side for a minute or so directly over the flame to add a little extra smoky flavour.
Dish up: Serve everything together with the toppings (and a lot of napkins!) so everyone can build their own tacos at the table.

Notes

Chicken: This recipe uses about 3 breasts for a serving of 4, so bear this in mind if you’re making more or less.

Heating the tortillas: I like to toast the wraps (CAREFULLY) over an open gas flame to give them some texture, but you can also warm them in the oven according to the packet instructions.

Serving suggestion: I love to serve this recipe with grated cheese, sour cream or yoghurt, salsa and avocado. You could always bulk the meal out with some homemade wedges and a Mexican salad too if you like.

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!
