Fajitas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken or Prawns

    If using chicken, season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and your choice of spices. If using prawns, season them similarly. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken or prawns and cook until blackened and fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes for chicken, 3-5 minutes for prawns). Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Peppers and Onions

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Sauté them over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can warm them directly on the stovetop for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Slice the cooked chicken or prawns into strips. On each tortilla, layer some sautéed peppers and onions, a portion of the blackened chicken or prawns, a dollop of roasted corn guacamole, and drizzle with peanut salsa macha. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the assembled fajitas immediately with extra lime wedges and your choice of sides.
