The Recipe Room

I love Mexican food for its spiciness and simplicity of the dishes. The typical foods such as spicy tortillas, nachos, quesadillas, and fajitas all are really filling and use combinations of flavours that I can´t get enough of! Plus, in my opinion, they are quite easy to throw together for a hearty meal.

Chicken fajitas with red onion and guacamole is a dish that I make at least twice a week because it is so yummy and simple to make. Fajitas make perfect student food because they are easy like a sandwich but with proper meal ingredients.

I usually cosy up with these fajitas and my favourite TV series after a full day at Uni. Although, since I stuff them so full, I have to be careful not to let all the ingredients spill out onto the couch. Regardless, I love this dish. All I can say is: Viva Mexico!

What we need:

• 1 large chicken breast
• 1 red pepper
• 1 green pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 6 Mexican tortillas
• 100g of grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons of spicy red Mexican sauce
• 200ml of guacamole
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Herbs: garlic, ginger, pepper and cayenne pepper (a pinch of each)

How to make it:

1. Chop the chicken breast into long slices.
2. Place them in the oil in a frying pan and fry until cooked and sprinkle the herbs over it.  Place in a bowl for later.
3. Chop the peppers and onion and fry them in the frying pan.
4. Now, put the chicken back in the pan together with the peppers and onion. Add the Mexican sauce to taste, depending on how spicy you want it.
5. Preheat the tortillas in the oven or microwave.
6. Spread a tablespoon of guacamole on a tortilla and add some of the chicken and pepper mixture.
7. Sprinkle some of the grated cheese on top according to taste.
8. Roll the tortilla into a roll and eat with your fingers or a knife and fork.

Enjoy!!
