Method for Chicken
Fajitas
1. Slice the chicken breasts
into strips, about 2cm wide, and place in a large
bowl.
2. Add the lime rind and
juice, the caster sugar, oregano, cayenne and
cinnamon. Mix thoroughly and set aside to marinate
for at least 30 minutes - longer if you have the
time.
3. Meanwhile, make the
tortillas. Place the flour, baking powder and
salt in a large bowl.
4. Rub in the lard, and
pour in the water in a steady stream, until the
mixture becomes a firm but pliable dough.
5. Turn the dough out onto
a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes
until smooth and elastic.
6. Divide the dough into
6 equal sized pieces and roll each piece out to
make a 30cm circle. Cover with cling film to prevent
them drying out.
7. Heat a large frying
pan or griddle over a medium heat. Cook each tortilla
for about 1 minute on each side, or until the
surface begins to blister and turn golden. Keep
the cooked tortillas warm and pliable by wrapping
in a clean, dry tea towel.
8. Heat the oil in a large
frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes,
until tender.
9. Stir in the peppers
and onions and cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes,
until the chicken strips are cooked through and
the vegetables are soft and tender.
10. Serve on the table
in suitable bowls and allow your friends to spoon
the chicken mixture into the cooked tortillas.
Also have seperate bowls containing guacamole,
salsa and soured cream, so they may help themselves
to these extras as desired.
11.Accompany with your
favourite white wine and enjoy your chicken fajitas.
