My family love our fajitas nights! The kids love to fill their own tortilla wraps and because I make everything from scratch, I can adjust how spicy to make the fajitas so the whole family can enjoy them together.
If you read my blog you will know that I love eating healthy and clean and when it comes to family favourite foods I like to create my own healthier versions. Over the past couple of years I have worked to get the balance of spices just right for this recipe and now it is perfect I want to share it with you all.
In the recipes below I have also included the perfect sides to accompany and complete a fajitas night, especially if you are entertaining. From my homemade creamy guacamole and to my simple salsa, the whole meal is easy and quick and can all be created in under one hour.
These recipes are all healthy, using fresh ingredients and can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This meal is perfect for hosting guests for a dinner/ late lunch as the recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more mouths.
Fajitas Night is easier than you think, with fresh and simple ingredients using a homemade mix of spices.. you can take the stress out of healthy eating.
In a small bowl add all the spices and dried herbs together and mix well.
Transfer to a clean and dry glass jar and store in a cool, dry cupboard until needed. As long as you keep it airtight and in a dry place you can keep this mix in with your other spices for whenever you need it
In a large bowl add the chicken, lime juice, olive oil and fajita spice mix and mix well until all the chicken pieces are completely coated. Cover with cling film and refrigerate over night or cover and place to the side while you prepare the onions and peppers
In a large pan or wok, over a medium heat, add the chicken and cook until white in the centre
While the chicken is cooking away start to prepare the sides.
Add the onions and peppers and cook for a further 5-10 minutes and remove from heat
In a bowl mash the avocados, add the greek yoghurt, lime juice and drizzle over with the extra virgin olive oil
Season with a little salt and pepper and add the parsley - mix well and put to the side
Chop up the tomatoes into small chunks and drain the juice and put into a small bowl
Add the parsley, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and lightly season with a little salt and pepper - set aside
Serve with warm tortilla wraps, warm in the microwave for around 60 sec and cover with a clean tea towel to keep them warm and soft
Put all the dishes in the middle of the table and tuck in!
