Instructions

1

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees. Remove the core from the red pepper then thinly slice. Cut the red onion in half through the root. Peel and thinly slice into half moon shapes. Thinly slice the green chilli. Zest the lime and grate the cheddar cheese. Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips. Tip: Thoroughly wash hands and surfaces after handling the green chilli. The heat is transferable and can burn more than your throat!

2

Quick-pickle the green chilli. Place the chilli slices in a small bowl and toss with the juice of the other half of lime.

3

Cook the fajita veggies. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and red pepper to the pan and cook, tossing, for 7-8 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and wipe out the pan with kitchen roll.

4

Put the frying pan back on medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally so as to allow the chicken pieces to brown. After 5 mins, add the Mexican spices to the pan and cook for another 5 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. Tip: The chicken is cooked when the centre is no longer pink. When the chicken is cooked, add the cooked veggies back into the pan and cook for another minute or until warmed through.

5

Next make the zesty sour cream. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Place the chicken mixture inside the tortillas and top with the grated cheese. Finish with a dollop of the lime cream and pickled chillis. Enjoy!
