What do you need to make spicy chicken fajitas:
- Chicken. You can use breast or boneless thighs (or a combination of both), and cut into strips.
- Vegetables. Bell peppers and sliced onions are the typical vegetables used when making fajitas. Any colour of pepper and red and white onion can be used.
- Herbs and spices. Gran Luchito Chipotle & Taco Mix already has the perfect blend of spices to add flavour and heat to your fajitas.
Top tips when making fajitas:
- Slice your chicken into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Cook your chicken over high heat, which is important to achieve a delicious char layer and browning of your protein.
- Serve your fajitas with fresh garnishes and salsas on the side. Have guacamole, fresh coriander, salsa, diced onion and lime wedges ready to build your tacos.
Serve with our recipe for homemade guacamole and our Gran Luchito Fajita Wraps, for those who prefer a medium-sized tortilla this is perfect when making fajitas at home.
