Chicken fajita in flour tortilla with avocado and cheese on wooden board
Jump to Recipe

Chicken fajitas is probably one of the most popular Tex-Mex dishes to find on restaurant menus, and is certainly one of my favourites.   You can't beat the delicious smell and sizzle of the chicken and vegetables as your fajitas are served to you!

Here's my delicious recipe to make your own at home.   You have the option to use shop bought fajita seasoning, or make your own.

The chicken and vegetables are juicy and full of flavour from the marinade and then you customise the end result with your choice of optional toppings...we like all of them!! 

Tips

  • Cotija cheese is a Mexican cheese that is similar to feta with a crumbly texture and salt flavour.   It’s difficult to get locally, so I use feta instead.
  • Swap out the chicken for strips of beef or steak, or leave out meat entirely and add some more veg for a vegetarian option.
  • This chicken fajita recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
