Description

Enchiladas with chicken fajita are tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, peppers and onions, topped with sauce and cheese, and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. PREPARE THE CHICKEN

    Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 cm wide, for even cooking. Place the chicken strips into a mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken. Mix thoroughly using tongs or clean hands to ensure every piece is well-coated with the seasoning. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors while you prepare the vegetables.

    Tip: Cutting the chicken into uniform strips helps them cook evenly and ensures every bite is flavorful.
  1. PREPARE THE VEGETABLES

    Rinse the red, green and yellow bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Remove the seeds and stems, then slice the peppers into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice it into similar-sized strips as the peppers. Keep the vegetables in a large mixing bowl, ready for cooking.

    Tip: To speed up prep, you can use a mandoline slicer (or a vegetable peeler) for perfectly even vegetable strips.
  1. COOK THE CHICKEN

    Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the seasoned chicken strips to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the outside and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a clean plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

    Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning and avoid steaming.
  1. COOK THE VEGETABLES

    Using the same skillet, add a small drizzle of olive oil if needed. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp. The edges should develop a light char for added flavor.

    Tip: Do not overcook the vegetables; the slight crunch adds texture to the final dish.
  1. COMBINE THE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything over low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or extra fajita seasoning.

    Tip: Stirring gently helps maintain the shape of the vegetables while evenly blending the flavors.
  1. WARM THE TORTILLAS

    Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each tortilla on the skillet, warming for about 20-30 seconds per side until soft and slightly charred. Stack the warmed tortillas and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable.

    Tip: If using store-bought tortillas, sprinkle them with a few drops of water before warming to refresh their texture.
  1. ASSEMBLE THE FAJITAS

    Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a plate. Add a scoop of cooked rice as the base, if desired. Add a generous serving of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then top with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

    Tip: Let guests assemble their fajitas for a fun, customizable meal experience. Provide a variety of toppings to suit everyone's preferences.
  1. SERVE AND ENJOY

    Arrange the assembled fajitas on a large platter or serve them individually. Place lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fajitas before eating. Pair with extra guacamole or salsa for dipping.

    Tip: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture. Keep additional tortillas warm for seconds or thirds!
