QUICK AND EASY BAKED CHICKEN FAJITAS
I've been making chicken fajitas on the stove with packaged taco seasoning for years but always had so much clean up afterwards. This was not only better tasting, but also easier to clean up and way more satisfying! Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Taco sauce optional.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.
- Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.
- Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
- Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.
- To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half - if any part is still raw cook until done.
- Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS
This is a recipe I recently adapted from Cooking Light - I was a little iffy at first about it b/c it didn't have any Mexican spices, but it ended up being really, really good. We used a Frontera (Rick Bayless's brand) salsa, and it worked really well with this. This is a super easy recipe and while you do have to wait for the marinade to marinate, the hands on time is pretty low.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Combine the chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss in a large bowl with the remaining chile powder mixture and 1 tablespoon oil.
- After the peppers are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, scatter the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken is cooked through and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with the lime juice.
- Serve with the warmed tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.
