Chicken fahitas- which spices and how much?

[pushchair]

Looked at packet mix and full of strange stuff so thought Id make up spice mix. Packet had cumin and chilli. Anything else and about how much? Feeding 3 adults-6 fahitas, 2 each.Thanks oh and do you think guacamole essential?

guacomole, salsa and sour cream are essential
i just buy packet mix though

Quick- no packet must make in next hour! Sent DP out for guacamole.

i just use paprika for the kids......

We had this last evening and again tonight. I'm afraid ours came out of a packet (and the nanny threw the old pack away, luckily I'll remmeber how to make it from last evening). There was only salsa in the pack I bought.

try this

I use cumin, paprika, chilli powder,oregano 2tsp of each.
fresh coriander olive oil and lime juice 2 tble spoons

leave to marinade for at least 1n hour

cumin
paprika
chilli
garlic

fresh coriander if you want
salt and pepper

That should do it.

Im making fajitas at moment but using a packet mix. Ingredients include: Black pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, chilli powder and parsley as well as flour, mustard and garlic. hope this helps.

Thanks all for help am planning on adding paprika, cumin, chilli and garlic.

Go easy on the cumin. I've juts addded a tiny bit too much.

Added 1 tsp cumin, 2 of paprika, 2 cloves garlic and 1 chopped red chilli.
Went down well

Can you make them with something else than chicken, peppers and onion? What else is a good combination (taste, filling and no too expensive)?

you can use salmon, or tuna fillet, or steak (not really cheap though)

better to make chilli and serve in tacos or tortillas - you need less meat and can bulk it out with beans etc

I know it's a day late, but a great recipe here for anyone thats interested.

I do slimming world fajitas, they're very basic but very yummy. They don't taste like packet ones, but they taste mexican and the kids prefer them.

Do tortillas and add sour cream, guacomole as usual.

Chicken - leave to marinate for however long in juice of a lime and dried coriander and dried oregano.

Then fry it (I do in frylight) and put in bowl to serve.

Then fry 2 onions a red pepper and a green pepper (recipe says to add garlic and chili but i just sometimes add a bit of chili powder) I do it in the same pan to get the chicken flavours on the veg.

Then I serve with homemade salsa (2 chopped roasted garlic cloves, 3 chopped tomatoes, half a chopped red onion, 1 chopped red chili 2tsp fresh coriander and juice of half a lime)
