Simply Delicious Chicken Fajita, is just that… A SIMPLE YET DELICIOUS Chicken Fajita. A quick and Easy Chicken Fajita recipe, that is nutritious and bursting with flavour.

Fajitas are a classic TEX-MEX cuisine. Originally, Fajitas referred to tortillas served with crispy grilled meats. This is my version of this world cuisine, one that I love whipping up on days that are rushed or even on a hot summers day. We are still in Summer Season in South Africa, so this Simple Delicious Chicken Fajita was a perfect meal. If you need a no-fuss and minimal preparation and cook times, is exactly what you need, then this is one such recipe that will sure become a firm favourite in your home too.

My family and I Also enjoy Fajitas served on a bed of Salad, we call it, Fajita Salad. Fajita can be made with any number of protein options, chicken, steak, shrimps/prawns and even vegetarian options. If you are serving Fajitas on a Tortilla Wrap, then Using some kind of sauce or spread, or even just sour cream and salsa takes the tortilla wrap to new heights. Speaking of Wraps, Have a look at how I recently served these Chicken Fajitas, making them into these Trending Tortilla Wraps .

Also by Adding more spices to the chicken and vegetables during cook time, will also add a more spicier take on the fajitas, depending on your preference. In the recipe, I use regular spices in my kitchen, and don’t necessarily let it marinate for a long time.

Add More Spices To the Fajita for more flavour. — Adding more Spices, after adding the peppers and onions, makes for a more flavourful fajita.

When serving Fajita as a salad topping, Gently Toss in Sliced or Chunks of avocado, just before serving to allow the spices to coat the avocado. YUMMY!!!

Avocado Slices tossed into fajita — Toss Avocado into Fajita just before serving as a salad.
