Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 500 g chicken breast fillets
  • 2 capsicums, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 4-8 soft tortillas
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • sour cream
Substitutions

Use chicken tenderloins, lamb, or beef steak instead or next time.

Use a combination of red, green, or yellow capsicum and onion or red onion.

Method

  1. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, cumin and chilli flakes together in a large bowl.
  2. Cut chicken into strips. Season with salt and pepper and add to the marinade. Toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan. Over a medium-high heat, stir fry the chicken, turning once until golden and cooked. Remove from the pan and keep warm. 
  4. Add capsicums and onion to the pan and cook over a medium-low heat until vegetables are soft. Return the chicken to the pan and toss to combine with the vegetables.
  5. Heat tortillas according to packet instructions. Fill with chicken and vegetables, avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
Chef tips

Use wraps in place of tortillas if you have them handy.

Fill tortillas with added ingredients such as shredded lettuce or baby spinach, tomato slices or grated cheese.

My family love this recipe. It is always a hit! I drop my son Max off to football and can make this recipe and have the kitchen clean by the time I pick him up. A hump day favourite
