Chicken Fajitas

[TJB]

OK, here's my recipe for chicken fajitas...

Ingredients

3/4 skinless chicken breasts chopped into bite size chunks
1 large onion (finely chopped)
1 large green pepper (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1 small (140g) tin of tomato puree
300 ml of good quality chicken stock
A good shake of ground cumin
A good shake of dried oregano
A good shake of corriander leaf
A good shake of smoked paprika
A small spoonful of marmite
A large spoonful of chipotle paste
A splash of olive oil

Fry the chicken in the oil until browned on all sides on a medium heat then add the cumin and oregano and stir well. Add the onion, pepper & garlic then fry until soft. Now add the tomato puree and stir until everything is well covered by the puree. Add the stock and stir again and then add the chipotle paste, paprika and marmite and stir in well. The sauce should be a reddy brown colour at this point. Have a quick taste and if you want it spicier add another dollop of chipotle paste. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and leave to simmer gently until the sauce has reduced and is really thick and rich. Shortly before serving, add the corriander leaf. Serve wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with fresh red onion and tomato salsa, sour cream, jalepenos and grated cheese. Makes roughly enough to fill 8 tortilla. Goes well with ice cold Desperados!

I've only ever used the Old El Paso kit but will give this a whirl. Cheers for posting.

Same here, but the marmite would have to be left out, yuck!!

Even if you don't like Marmite on it's own, you don't know how it may add a subtle something to the taste when mixed with other ingredients. You probably wouldn't like smoked paprika or chipotle paste on their own either - So are you going to leave them out as well?

I know friends who don't like garlic but they don't even realize that I have used it in food I have cooked for them, and they would probably think something is missing and wouldn't enjoy it so much if I left the garlic out. (">

When you cam wrap the tortilla like a burrito, you can make some seriously healthy good breakfast burritos. Mine is currently grilled pork mince with 3 egg omlette stuffed with brocali and a bit of cheese. so so so good.
