📝 Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons frying oil
• 3 tablespoons homemade Fajita seasoning
• 1.5 lbs (675g) chicken breast
• 3 bell peppers
• 1 medium red onion
• 5 oz (140g) sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 oz (110g) Swiss cheese (Emmentaler cheese)
• juice from 1 lime
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 8 medium/large tortillas

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut chicken breasts into 3/4-inch (2cm) strips. Cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices (about 1/4-inch (5mm)). Add into a large bowl.
2. 2Mix Fajita seasoning with 2 tablespoons of oil, toss with chicken and vegetables until coated on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
3. 3Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan (preferably a non-stick pan). Cook the chicken with vegetables in 3 batches over high heat until the chicken is nicely browned on both sides and vegetables slightly soft but still crunchy. Transfer into a very large bowl, leave until slightly cooled (you can shred the cheese on the big holes of a box grater while they are cooling).
4. 4Add the shredded cheese and lime juice to the bowl with chicken and vegetables, stir everything together.
5. 5Place about 3 tablespoons of filling on one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to cover the filling. Don't overfill the tortillas or they will be difficult to eat (the filling will fall out).
6. 6Heat a small amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add two folded in half tortillas. Cook on both sides until tortilla is browned on the outside and the cheese is melted (about a minute per side).
7. 7Transfer to a chopping board, cut in half.
8. 8Serve with tomato salsa or yogurt lemon dipping sauce (recipes are below in the notes section) or just on their own.
9. 9Enjoy!
