Fajitas

Ingredients
2 Chicken breast cut into strips
1 Large Red Onion
1 Green or Orange Pepper
1 Lime
1 Pack of Fajitas (usually these come in 8's this recipe uses 4)
Chilli powder
Oregano
A Dash of Oil
Salad to serve with

Equipment
1 Wok/Large Frying Pan
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Wooden/Plastic Spatula
1 Lemon Zester/Juicer
1 Serving Spoon

The Good Bit
  1. Heat the oil in the wok/frying pan, whilst doing this cut the onion and pepper into strips 1/2cm wide, collect the zest from the lime (do this before cutting it as it is easier) then juice the lime.
  2. Place the onion, peppers, chicken, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder and a sprinkle of oregano in your pan and mix well.
  3. Leave this to cook well for about 15 Minutes stirring occasionally until the chicken has begun to brown.
  4. Just before serving warm the fajitas through according to packet instructions (couple of minutes in an oven of 30 seconds or so in a microwave)
  5. I like to place 2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the fajitas and then fold the 2 sides in first and then fold up from the bottom, serve on your plate with salad.
Serves 2 (use another 2 chicken breast and double up on the veg if you want to serve 4)
