This chicken fajitas recipe is one of our all-time favourites to cook at home. It’s simple, tasty and can be a really healthy meal.
Supermarket aisles are full of fajita kits, with sachets of seasoning and factory-made salsas. It might seem an easy option, but making your own seasoning is a breeze and tastes so much better! Once you get the hang of the process, you can tailor the mix to your own taste every time.

Serving suggestions:
For the ultimate fajita, we like to add a few extras bits when creating our wraps. Start with a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche, and spread over the wrap. Then add some lettuce leaves before spooning on the fajita mix. Top the hot fajita mix with grated cheddar cheese, jalapeños and a spoon or two of homemade guacamole and a small sprinkle of chopped coriander. – You’re welcome.
