Start by remembering that F is for “fun” and F is for “Fajitas. A tortilla wrap with onions, capsicums, guacamole, cheese and salsa. The fun comes as every time you can make it differently, and personally it is the guacamole/cheese with the chicken that is the best. Another tip – don’t overfill the tortillas.

Heat a large cast iron pan or griddle to high and add a teaspoon of olive oil. Quickly fry the chicken strips and then turn down the heat to medium and add the onion and capsicum, stirring until the onion becomes translucent.
