With flavourful chicken, colourful capsicums, and a variety of toppings, these fajitas are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Let’s get cooking:
Ingredients:

- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 1 packet fajita seasoning mix
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
NB: The thing I absolutely love about fajitas and tacos is that you dont need to follow a strict recipe. Have some corn – throw it in, cucumbers, lettuce – it all works well.
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Stir in the fajita seasoning mix and cook for another minute, stirring to coat the chicken evenly.
- Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the peppers are slightly softened.
- While the chicken and capsicums are cooking, warm the flour tortillas according to the packet instructions.
- To assemble the fajitas, spoon some of the chicken and pepper mixture onto each tortilla. Add your desired toppings, such as grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
- Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.
Variations:
- Use different colored bell peppers for a more colorful dish.
- Add sliced mushrooms or zucchini to the pan along with the peppers for added vegetables.
- Serve with rice and beans on the side for a more filling meal.
Conclusion:
These easy child-friendly chicken fajitas are a quick and delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. With simple ingredients and customizable toppings, you can create a fun and interactive meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Enjoy!
