Chicken strips marinated with cumin, red pepper flakes, and thyme are quickly cooked over high heat with colorful peppers and onion. This vibrant Mexican cuisine dish is enjoyed wrapped in tortilla bread or alongside rice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate the chicken

20 min

Toss the strip-cut chicken breast with olive oil, cumin, red pepper flakes, thyme, salt, and lemon juice, and let it rest for at least twenty minutes.

2

Prepare the vegetables

5 min

Cut the peppers and onion into thin strips.

3

Cook the chicken

10 min

Cook the marinated chicken in a well-heated wide pan, turning until golden brown.

4

Combine with the vegetables

10 min

Add the peppers and onion and sauté together over high heat for a short time so they stay crisp.

Reminder

Important: if you don't let the chicken marinate for at least twenty minutes, the spices won't fully penetrate the meat. Note: if you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of browning; cook it in several batches.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you serve the fajita with lemon-squeezed avocado slices and fresh coriander, you get a vibrant presentation like on Mexican tables. Warming the tortilla slightly before serving increases its flexibility.

Tereyağı yerine zeytinyağı kullandım, yine de güzel oldu. Süt yerine badem sütü ile denedim, gayet iyi sonuç verdi. Sarımsağı çıkardım, yine de lezzetli oldu.

Pişirirken evin her tarafı kokladı, komşular bile sordu. İkinci kez yapıyorum, ilkinden de güzel oldu.
