Susan Kamau's Kenyan Kitchen :: Great ideas for everyday cooking

Ingredients

2 Kenchic chicken breasts

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 tsp chilli powder

2 tsp cumin seeds

2 tsp paprika

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 green pepper, cut into thin strips

1 white onion, diced

1 tbsp vegetable oil

6 pieces flour tortilla or Indian style rotis

½ cup Monterrey jack cheese, grated

Some ready-made salsa or kachumbari

Some sour cream

Method:

Rinse the chicken breasts in water and blot with paper towels. Cut into thin strips. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chicken strips, salt, pepper, chilli, cumin, paprika, water and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover the bowl loosely with a lid and microwave on high power for 4½ minutes, stirring half way, until the chicken slices are completely done.
Drain any excess water off the chicken and set aside. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the green pepper, onion and oil. Microwave on high power for 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Drain any excess oil from the vegetables. Lay out 6 flour tortillas and spread some sour cream and salsa on all of them.
Next, sprinkle over some cheese, then top with vegetables and the chicken. Roll each tortilla up and serve immediately.

Serves 6.

Susan says: Fajitas are great because you can fill them up with whatever your heart desires as they are a sort of Mexican sandwich really. Try seafood and beef for tasty variations.
