Chicken Fajitas
High heat, big flavour: chicken seared with aromatics and a shiny sauce that clings to every bite. About 27 minutes from fridge to table.

Char Garlic directly over a flame or in a dry comal until blackened in patches — this is where the smoke comes from.
- 2
Heat the oil in a heavy pan and brown the Chicken confidently.
- 3
Add the charred, chopped Garlic with Ground Cumin and fry until the mixture darkens and smells sweet-smoky.
- 4
Season with salt and a little oregano, add a splash of water, and simmer until the Chicken is cooked through.

Reduce until the sauce clings rather than runs, and check the salt one last time.
- 6
Serve hot with tortillas, lime wedges, and crumbled cheese over the top.
Chef's tip
Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
