Chicken fajitas

8 tacos (4 servings)

Experience

• We make this regularly at home.
• On 07/01/2022, we made a variant: chicken breast rubbed with red spices, cooked in quite some oil. Had a beautiful caramelized outside and moist inside. 1 oignon, 1 paprika, in a pan with oil, toss until caramelize, outside of the heat add garlic pressed. Made with salad, cherry tomatoes, taco sauce (too acidic), sour cream, coriander. It was really good, only lacked some acid and heat. Perfect portion for 4. I still do not know how to roll a burrito.
