Chicken Fajitas! (page 38, Food Revolution by Jamie Oliver)

Serves 2

This recipe goes really fast so be sure to have everything ready to go!

Ingredients:

• 1 red pepper
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• modified: 1/2 large regular onion because I didn’t have 1 medium red onion
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• pinch ground cumin
• modified: 1 lemon because I had no limes
• olive oil
• modified: pita bread because I had no tortilla
• sour cream
• modified: homemade salsa = 1 tomato, bunch fresh parsley because I had no cilantro, juice of lemon, teeny tiny bit of olive oil, chili flakes because I didn’t have fresh chili.)

To Make:

1. Marinate chicken, peppers, onion in paprika, cumin, salt and pepper, with good squeeze of lemon/lime and lug of olive oil for five mins. Everything is sliced into strips. (Very easy. In fact, I was watching Cities of the Underworld while I made this.)
2. Heat pan on high until it’s very hot.
3. Drop in marinated mix. It starts sizzling really loud. Sounds like a proper kitchen. Do not add any oil or butter.
4. Stir a lot so nothing sticks. It’s done in about five-ten minutes, when chicken is cooked through and peppers are softer.
5. Heat up tortillas or pita bread and serve.
6. I also chopped up the ingredients of the salsa, and mixed a bunch of fresh avocado for make-shift guacamole. Perfect. :)

Side note:  Don’t forget to season everything.  Salt and pepper in the chicken mixture, s&p in the salsa, and s&p in the guac.  Just don’t forget or it’ll be strangely bland.  :)
