Tips
Instead of using a skillet to heat the tortillas you could microwave them. Also instead of grilling the final dish you could bake in the oven for 15 mins (or until browned) although this gives a slightly richer flavour. Personally I prefer the grilled version. For a veggie version substitute your fav veg instead of the chicken.
Ingredients
- Soft flour tortillas (2 per person)
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 red pepper. chopped
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 Pkt Discovery or Old El Paso Fajita mix
- Sour Cream
- Grated cheese
- oil for frying
- Your favourite salad to serve with it
- Frying pan
- flat bottomed skillet
- shalow dish (for grilling) - a lasagne dish would work
Method
- Slice the chicken breasts into slivers and fry in some oil.
- Once gently browned, add the onion and soften in the pan (add a little more oil if the onion starts to burn).
- Add the peppers and then add the fajita mix (1 packet of this is enough for 4 people, halve for 2) and stir in to coat all the meat and vegetables. Allow to sear slightly.
- Add the time of tomatoes and mix in thoroughly then simmer to reduce and make a sauce (maybe 15-20 mins).
- When the sauce is nearly ready heat the skillet on high and warm each tortilla on both sides and then place to the side on a plate.
- When sauce is ready spoon the sauce into the middle of each tortilla wrap, place a handful of grate cheese, a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. Then roll each wrap up and place side by side on the shallow dish.
- Once all wraps are on the dish, smother with more sour cream and then cover with a generous handful of grated cheese.
- Place the dish under a hot grill until the cheese has melted and lightly browned.
- Serve with a salad of your choice.

I wonder if one can make the fajita mix at home: what are the spices in it?

Good idea. You can adjust to suit your own taste. Glad you liked it :-)

Delicious but I would use two tins of tomatoes instead of one to give it a bit more sauce.
