Questions about Fajitas
How do you make fajitas without making the peppers soggy?
Heat a large frying pan until very hot, then cook the sliced peppers and onions in batches so they sear rather than steam. Keep them moving for about 5–7 minutes; add the seasoning near the end.
How do you warm tortillas for fajitas?
Warm them one at a time in a dry frying pan for about 20–30 seconds per side, or wrap a stack in foil and heat in a 180 °C oven for 10 minutes. Keep them covered in a clean tea towel so they stay soft.
What do you put in fajitas besides meat and peppers?
Serve them with salsa, guacamole or sliced avocado, lime wedges and soured cream, with grated cheese or coriander if you like. Put the fillings on the table separately so you can build each tortilla without overfilling it.
Can you prepare fajita fillings ahead of time?
You can slice the peppers and onions and mix the spices a day ahead, keeping them covered in the fridge. Cook the fillings shortly before serving; hot, freshly cooked strips have a better texture than fillings left sitting in the pan.
How long do leftover fajitas keep?
Refrigerate cooked meat and vegetables in a covered container within two hours, and use them within three days. Reheat until steaming hot; store tortillas separately so they do not turn damp.
How do you keep chicken fajitas tender?
Slice chicken breast into thin, even strips across the grain and cook it in a very hot pan in a single layer. Turn the strips and cook until the centre reaches 75 °C, then take them out promptly rather than leaving them to simmer with the vegetables.
