Fajitas (and Guacamole)

I am huge fan of Mexican food. It's spicy, and colourful, and exciting, and truly delicious. And it's so not like the typical food that my family would prepare that I see it as something special, worth appreciation. I have been asking Mr.Boyfriend to go to Mexican restaurant for a while now but we can't find the time to do so. That's why tonight the Mexican restaurant came to us. We decided to prepare our own fajitas - simple, yet delicious Mexican wrap that has something to offer for everyone. And we drank some ice-cold Coronas with lime in them, so the whole Mexican experiences was complete blast!

Ingredients for Fajitas:


  • 1 Red Onion
  • 5 Chicken Drumsticks (or 4 Chicken Breasts)
  • 1 Jar of Cooking Sauce
  • Wraps
  • Guacamole (recipe below)
  • 1 Tomato
  • Green salad (mine was Kale, Spinach, Pak Choi and Jugallo Nero mix)
  • Soft Cheese (or Sour Cream)

How-To:

  1. Start by cutting the onion and the skinless, boneless chicken to small pieces.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in deep pan and add them.
  3. Stir well, until the chicken is slightly browned on the sides.
  4. Add the sauce (mine was ready made from a jar *ashamed*) and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until thickened.
  5.   
  6. When the sauce is ready is time to assemble your fajitas.
  7. In a pan heat up  a wrap for 2-3 minutes, until is actually warm.
  8. Place it on a plate, smear with soft cheese (or sour cream) and one by one add your fillings - green salad, guacamole, tomato and your red chicken sauce.
  9. I added some JalapeƱos in my sauce but just because I love extra spice food. Roll the wrap, cut it in half. And ENJOY!



Ingredients For Guacamole:


  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 1 Ripe Avocado
  • 1 Lime's Juice
  • Salt and Pepper

How-To:


  1. Cut the onion to small pieces and put in the blender.
  2. Skin the avocado (that should be easy-peasy if the avocado is well ripen), cut it and put it in the blender.
  3. Add the lime juice and blend together.
  4. Add salt and pepper to your tasting. And this is it.
