  3. 3Oven: Turn off the oven and put the tortillas onto the hot stone to warm through or defrost and warm.
  4. 4Skillet: Heat your serving skillet or pan on the stovetop on a high heat, until it's sizzling hot.
  5. 5Cooking: Add the rest of the oil to a large frying pan and fry the chicken mixture over a high heat, stirring all the time until lightly charred.
  6. 6Transfer the chicken mixture to the preheated serving dish to serve.
  7. 7Serve the chicken filling, the warmed fajita wraps and your selection of toppings.
