Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 lb chicken breast (skinless), sliced into strips
- 1 onion, sliced into stripes
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed, finely sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeds removed, finely sliced
- 1 fresh red chili, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground paprika

To Serve:
- 2 avocados, cut into chunks
- 3 tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 Tbsp full-fat sour cream
- 2 fresh limes
How to make:
- Drizzle the olive oil onto a skillet or frying pan and place over a medium-high heat
- Add the chicken and toss as it cooks for a few minutes, it doesn’t need to be cooked through, but just starting to become opaque
- Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, chili pepper, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper and stir to combine
- Keep tossing the chicken and veggies as they cook and become a little charred. The chicken should be cooked through and the onion and bell peppers soft
- Pile onto a serving platter and place your chopped avo, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, sour cream and limes on a separate plate or in little bowls so you and your guests can make your own custom fajita plates
