Serve with tortillas, crème fraiche, and flavourful garnish
The chicken and vegetables make a flavourful filling for warm tortillas. Choose corn, flour, or hearty whole wheat ones as you prefer. Add a generous serving of crème fraiche to bring a delightful contrast to the savoury filling, and garnish with lime and coriander as a finishing touch. They are those little bursts of flavour that make a big difference. The zingy lime combined with the fresh pop of coriander gives you a perfect burst of liveliness, elevating the savoury and rich fajitas.
Choose your favourite fillings
One of the best things about chicken fajitas is how adaptable they are. They offer you the freedom to incorporate your favourite textures and flavours. Do you crave the richness of creamy guacamole, the refreshing coolness of crème fraiche, or the zesty tang of salsa? How about a sprinkle of cheese to melt over the warm ingredients, creating a wonderfully gooey layer of comfort? If you are aiming to elevate the dish, you can opt for toppings like zesty Pico de Gallo, tangy pickled red onions, or crumbly cotija cheese. And if you are looking for a touch of sweetness, try mango salsa or introduce a smoky note with chipotle mayo.
