Another Mid-Week staple in my house, so trust me when I say this recipe is tried and tested. Once you’ve make a stable base with the spicy chicken and peppers, fajitas are all about what you add. A bit of Pico here, some cheese there; crema, rice, and hot sauce. These are my favourites. But the most important are the chicken skins. Do not skip on the skins, they add salty, fatty, crispiness to the dish that you can’t bring in any other way. Give em a go, and let me know what you think.
