Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 orange bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded if desired and chopped
12 blue corn tortillas
8 ounces sharp yellow Cheddar, grated
Lime wedges, avocado slices, fresh cilantro leaves and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a bowl and toss with tongs until well combined.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering and starting to smoke around the edges. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers and onions and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the peppers are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and jalapeno and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, stir to combine and continue to cook until the chicken is very hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Heat the tortillas according to the package directions, then top them with the Cheddar and chicken mixture. Serve with lime wedges, avocado slices, cilantro leaves and hot sauce on the side.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp vegetable oil or rapeseed oil
2 peppers, any colour you like, sliced
1 red onion, halved and sliced
400g can mixed beans, drained

Tips:

  • For a quicker cooking time, use pre-cooked chicken or steak.
  • If you don't have fajita seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • To make the pot pie even more flavorful, add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies or a can of corn.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use crescent roll dough or puff pastry dough instead.
  • To make the pot pie ahead of time, cook the filling and let it cool completely. Then, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, transfer the filling to a baking dish, and top with the pie crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
