Fajitas ad naseum

Chicken Fajitas.



No need to comment allthough I haven't actually done a method before for these so behold the wonder that is the meal which is the bane of my belly.


Method

Toss chicken strips in spice rub and leave for as long as you can.
Slice onions into wedges and capsicum into thin slices. Chuck in a hot pan with a little oil and sprinkle over some of the spice rub. Leave it alone to char. When you can smell the carmelisation toss the vegs around a bit and carmelise on another side. Repeat until the veg is nice and charred. Remove from pan and chuck in a bowl. Toss in chicken strips in batches and again leave 'em alone to char. Toss in bowl with veg as you go. Return the lot to the pan and squeeze over the juice of several limes.

Guacamole (well my version).
Mash with fork, avocado, corriander, chilli. Squeeze in some lime juice.

Spice rub.
Dry roast, then pound in a mortar and pestle.

Tortillas (when you can be bothered making them, rather than buying them)
Mix masa with water until the consistency is kinda like cardboard that has been left in the rain for a couple of minutes. I then use two cast iron skillets to squeeze the masa out into tortillas. Cook 'em in a dry pan until they blister just a little bit then flip and repeat.
