Classic chicken fajitas with tomato salsa

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 green pepper, sliced
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 4 large tortilla wraps
  • 150g grated cheddar cheese
For the chilli salsa
  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp sweetcorn
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Juice of a lime
  • fresh seasoning

Method

Start by making the chilli salsa as it is best served chilled. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, removing any seeds. Put them in a bowl, along with all the remaining ingredients. Season well with pepper and salt, mix well, and leave to infuse in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Mix the paprika and cumin together and rub into the chicken slices. Heat the oil in a pan and add the spiced chicken pieces. Cook for 2 minutes, before adding the sliced onion and peppers. Season with pepper and salt, and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. The chicken should be soft but the onions and peppers should still be firm. Heat the tortilla wraps in the oven or grill, and then lay them out on your serving plates. Spread the sour cream all over the wraps, followed by a generous portion of the chilled tomato salsa. Next, add the chicken fajita mixture and finally sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortilla wraps tightly, and serve with some of the remaining tomato salsa. You can alternatively serve the fajitas with tortilla chips.

Fajitas klassiċi tat-tiġieġ biz-zalza pikkanti tat-tadam

Ingredients

  • 2 isdra kbar tat-tiġieġ, imqattgħin f’biċċiet
  • 2 kuċċarini paprika, iffumigata
  • kuċċarina kemmun, mitħun
  • mgħarfa żejt taż-żebbuġa
  • basla ħamra kbira, imqattgħa roti
  • bżaru aħmar, imqatta’
  • bżaru aħdar, imqatta’
  • 4 mgħaref sour cream
  • 4 tortillas kbar
  • 150g ġobon Cheddar, maħkuk

Għaz-zalza tal-filfel

  • 4 tadamiet kbar
  • 2 mgħaref qamħirrun
  • 2 sinniet tewm, imqattgħin
  • mgħarfa kosbor, mitħun
  • filfel aħmar, imqatta’ rqiq
  • 2 mgħaref żejt taż-żebbuġa
  • mgħarfa ħall tal-inbid abjad
  • il-meraq ta’ lime
  • ħwawar friski

Method

Ibda biz-zalza tal-filfel għax din l-aħjar tisserva kiesħa. Qatta’ t-tadam f’biċċiet żgħar u neħħi ż-żerriegħa. Poġġihom mal-ingredjenti l-oħra fi skutella. Ħawwar bil-bżar u l-melħ, ħawwad sew, u poġġi z-zalza fil-friġġ biex tiksaħ sakemm tlesti t-tiġieġ. Ħallat il-paprika u l-kemmun flimkien u idlek il-biċċiet tat-tiġieġ bihom. Saħħan iż-żejt f’taġen u itfa’ t-tiġieġ imħawwar. Sajjar għal 2 minuti u mbagħad żid il-basal u l-bżar aħmar. Ħawwar bil-bżar u l-melħ u kompli sajjar għal 2 minuti oħra. It-tiġieġ irid ikun tari imma l-basal u l-bżar iridu jkunu għadhom ibsin. Saħħan it-tortillas fil-forn jew fuq grilja mbagħad poġġihom fil-platti li tkun se sservi fihom. Idlek it-tortillas bil-krema u itfa’ ftit mhux ħażin zalza tat-tadam. Itfa’ wkoll it-taħlita tat-tiġieġ u ferrex il-ġobon Cheddar fil-wiċċ. Geżwer it-tortillas u servihom bi ftit zalza tat-tadam li jkun fadal. Tista’ sservihom ukoll mat-tortilla chips.
