STEP 1
How to make fajitas at home? A very simple, quick and affordable dish. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use thigh fillet instead of breast fillet. You can also replace the chicken with turkey or other meat to taste.
STEP 2
In a bowl, mix vegetable oil, lime juice, cumin and hot pepper flakes. If you don't want the dish to be spicy, you can replace the hot pepper with paprika flakes. You can replace the lime juice with lemon juice.
STEP 3
Wash the chicken fillet, dry it, sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper.
STEP 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
STEP 5
Peel the bell pepper from seeds and cut into large strips. To make the dish beautiful and bright, take peppers of different colors.
STEP 6
Peel the onion and cut into half rings.
STEP 7
Place the chicken in the pan, add a little marinade and fry over medium heat for about 8 minutes on each side or a little longer until cooked and golden brown.
STEP 8
Cool the finished chicken slightly, then cut into medium slices.
STEP 9
Place bell peppers and onions in the pan where the chicken was fried. Fry everything together over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. At the end, add salt and pepper to the vegetables.
STEP 10
Return the chopped chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Warm everything together over low heat for another 5 minutes.
STEP 11
Fajitas are traditionally served with a wheat or corn tortilla. The flatbreads can be served separately from the chicken or the filling can be placed in the flatbread itself, which looks more elegant and is convenient to eat.
STEP 12
Place 2 lettuce leaves in the center of each corn tortilla. Distribute the fried chicken and vegetables on top. If desired, sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and serve. Bon appetit!
