  3. You can cook immediately but if posible marinate for 15-60 mins
  4. Heat the oil in a pan and then fry the chicken - 2-3 mins per side
  5. Once the chicken is white nearly white all over add the peppers
  6. After 2-3 minutes add the onions

Notes

  • Can also be made with beef or prawns or a combination of all 3
  • For a gluten-free or lower calorie version omit the tortillas or wrap in lettuce leaves
  • Also often served with guacamole and or sourcream
  • Store-bought tortillas are often high in salt so if possible I recommend making your own
