{Ramadan Special} - Chicken Fajitas by Hasna Hamza Layin of Kachuss Delight

• 500 g Chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
• 2 tbsp. oil
• 4 tbsp. lime juice
• 1 tbsp. chilli powder
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1 capsicum
• 1 red pepper
• 4 tbsp. coriander
• 4 tortilla wraps*
• Lettuce
• Mayonnaise dip to serve

PREPARATION: 

• Marinate the chicken in 1 tbsp. oil, lime juice, chilli powder, cumin, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and chill for at-least 30 minutes or 2 hours if possible.
• Preheat the oven to 250 C and grill chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked. Reserve the marinade. You can either shallow fry them on a pan.
• Heat the remaining oil in a pan. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and the reserved marinade. Cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add coriander.
• When ready to serve, assemble fajitas using lettuce, prepared peppers, mayonnaise dip, guacamole, cheese or sour cream etc.

*Note: Tortillas can be prepared like our Indian roti’s by substituting Masa Harina (ground corn meal) or All-purpose flour (Maida) for whole wheat flour. Dough can be made with 2 cups Maida, 2 tbsp. butter, a pinch of baking powder and salt. Roll and cook like roti’s.

• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp. tomato, finely chopped
• 2 tsp vinegar
• 2 tsp coriander leaves, chopped
• 1/3 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp. onion, minced
• a pinch of salt
• a pinch of cumin

PREPARATION: 

• Mix all these together and serve it along with the wraps.
