Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken breast cut into bite size strips
  • 2 bell peppers your colour choice, deseeded and cut into strips
  • 1-2 red onions peeled, halved and cut into slices
  • 400 g tin black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 sachets Santa Maria Fajita Seasoning Mix Medium
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 1 pack Santa Maria Plain Flour Soft Tortillas
  • 1 bottle Santa Maria Salsa
  • guacamole see recipe above
  • sour cream or natural yoghurt optional
  • lettuce leaves instead of tortillas, optional

Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a bowl, the vegetables into another, and the black beans into a third.
  • In a jug or bowl, mix the Santa Maria Fajita Seasoning with the oil, stir to combine.
  • Pour half of it the mixture over the chicken.
  • Pour three quarters of the remaining mixture over the vegetables, and the final quarter over the black beans.
  • Mix the seasoning well amongst the individual bowls of ingredients.
  • Add the chicken to a very hot pan, and cook for 5 - 7 minutes until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in another hot pan, cook the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, and in a final pan, gently fry the black beans until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
  • Alternatively, you could cook everything together in one big pan.
  • Warm the tortillas according to the package instructions. Transfer to a plate.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken, vegetables and beans to warmed serving dishes, and place in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves.
  • Serve the chicken, vegetables and black beans with Santa Maria salsa, guacamole and sour cream (optional), and let everyone construct their favourite combinations!
