Spicy Chicken Fajitas




Caliente!

My spicy fajitas are a real Mexican style treat.  They are quick to make and are so fun to eat! Perfect for watching films and essay writing breaks.  I intensified the heat of my fajitas by adding a little more chilli then I usually would.  However, make sure you know your limits because during my chilli experiment there was a point were my eyes were watering about a foot away from the stove.  You can alter the sweetness and heat by changing the amount of honey and peppery flavours. 


This recipe was adapted from 'Good Housekeeping' April (Good Housekeeping Publications, 2012)

Ingredients:

8 wholemeal tortilla wraps,  4tsps oil, 3 garlic cloves (chopped), 1 medium chilli (shopped) Old El Paso spice mix (or use paprika and various over spices), 2tbsps tomato puree, 1 1/2tsp runny honey, 2 packets sliced chicken breast strips, 1 red pepper (chopped), 2 handfuls of fresh chopped coriander, (to serve) mild guacamole, low fat grated cheddar cheese, mild sour cream. 


Method:

1. Heat the oil in the pan, and when hot fry chicken.
2. When chicken is almost cooked (all white) add garlic and Old El Paso spice mix or other seasonings.
3. Fry for 2 minutes then add puree, honey and 2 tbsps water.
4. After 3 minutes and the peppers and chilli.
5. Keep frying until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Make your fajita wraps and using the other awsome components and don't forget the coriander because it brings a beautiful fragrance and a lovely touch.
