Instructions
Fajitas spice mix
- Mix everything together.
For the chicken breast
- Butterfly the chicken breast by cutting across and stopping before reaching the end. For further reference watch the video above.
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Mix half of the spice mix into the vinegar and use it to marinade the chicken breast for 20-30min.
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat and add a bit of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chicken breast. Press it down every once in a while to make sure it's getting an even golden colour.
- Take it out and place it on a warm container and cover with tin foil.
For the veggies
- On the same pan as the chicken add a bit more oil and then the veggies. Use them to scrape out the bits of chicken that are stuck to the pan because they're full of flavour.
- Season with salt, pepper and half the spice mix and cook until soft.
Chicken part II
- Take out the chicken and cut it. Place the veggies where the chicken was before so they don't go cold.
- Serve everything on a plate or skillet along with the tortillas and toppings.
