Spicy Chicken Fajitas

Our Spicy Chicken Fajitas are great for anyone who likes food with a bit more spice. And we've got just the thing to add that extra kick - our Spicy Taco Seasoning. It's a tasty blend of chipotle and spices, all set for you to enjoy with your meal. What do you need to make spicy chicken fajitas:
  1. Chicken. You can use breast or boneless thighs (or a combination of both), and cut into strips.
  2. Vegetables. Bell peppers and sliced onions are the typical vegetables used when making fajitas. Any colour of pepper and red and white onion can be used.
  3. Herbs and spices. Our Spicy Taco Seasoning already has the perfect blend of spices to add flavour and heat to your fajitas.
Top tips when making fajitas:
  • Slice your chicken into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
  • Cook your chicken over high heat, which is important to achieve a delicious char layer and browning of your protein.
  • Serve your fajitas with fresh garnishes and salsas on the side. Have guacamole, fresh coriander, salsa, diced onion and lime wedges ready to build your tacos.
Serve with our recipe for homemade guacamole and our Fajita Wraps, for those who prefer a medium-sized tortilla this is perfect when making fajitas at home.

What toppings can I add to my Spicy Chicken Fajitas?
You can add various toppings to enhance the flavour of your Spicy Chicken Fajitas. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice.
Can I make Spicy Chicken Fajitas in advance?
Yes, you can prepare components of Spicy Chicken Fajitas in advance. Marinate and cook the chicken, and sauté the vegetables ahead of time.
