Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas

I have been making Fajitas for years and was surprised to discover that I've yet to blog about it. Not that it's anything fabulous, it's really more like comfort food that goes well with everyone in the family and that is easy to prepare.

You can make your own tortilla wraps using ground corn flour (preferably Masa Harina containing corn and lime) and warm water. The method is pretty similar to that for making chapatis and the Mexicans have even created a tortilla press to press the dough into flat rounds. Otherwise, you can buy the ready-made ones (usually wheat flour tortillas) at the supermarket like I do. They are not as tasty, but they do save one a lot of trouble.
