Fajitas are one of my all time favourite dishes ! A spicy Mexican delight! YUM! Fajita’s are traditionally grilled meat served on a floury tortilla. Originally it was a beef meat that was used, but in this modern age chicken and vegetables are equally as delicious.
Serves 4 (2 wraps each)
Chlo’s Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts (diced)
- Tablespoon of Vegetable oil for the pan
- 2-3 Peppers (Fun Fact: Red peppers contain more of the nutrient Beta carotene and twice as much Vitamin C than green peppers. The beta carotene becomes a precursor of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is vital for healthy skin, mucus membranes, maintain a healthy immune system and good eye health and vision.)
