Naked Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Frajitas are usually served with corn tortillas, however to keep it keto friendly this is a ‘naked’ version. So it’s got all the flavour and none of the carbs. I serve this with guacamole, crunchy fresh iceberg lettuce, sliced red onions and spicy salsa. To make it a real Mexican feast, add in Bare Back Tacos, to check out the recipe click here.

Method

Chicken Fajitas

Heat large frying pan or wok until very hot. Combine garlic, paprika, oregano, black pepper and cayenne pepper and oil in the pan.

Add chicken strips, stirring in the spice mixture and continue to stir to stop chicken burning.

Cook until chicken starts to change colour (around 4 minutes). Add onion, capsicum and parsley and cook a further 5 minutes.

Squeeze over lime juice, add chopped coriander and stir through, then serve on a bed of shredded lettuce, with guacamole and spicy salsa.

Guacamole

Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, chile and coriander leaves, including the top part of the stalks.

Scoop out the flesh of a ripe avocado into a bowl, add in tomatoes, chile and coriander and mash together with a fork.

Squeeze in the juice of one lime. Season with taste with salt and finely ground black pepper.

Spicy Salsa

Finely chop tomatoes, coriander and red chile.

Place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Bon Appetite!
