This used to be my go to recipe for chicken fajitas and despite many years passing its still a favourite. It came from a BBC Good Food magazine but i have no idea who the author was. You can use raw prawns or beef instead of the chicken if you like.

- 1-2 hot green chillies finely chopped
- 2 plump garlic cloves peeled and sliced

- 4 tbsps chopped fresh coriander
- 6 chiken breast fillets cut into thick strips

Instructions
- Mix the onions, chillies, garlic, lime juice, coriander and chicken in a shallow non metallic dish. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight.
- Halve the peppers and grill, cut side down, until the skins are well charred. Leave until cool then peel off the skins, discarding the seeds and stalks. Cut into strips.
- Brush a heavy based frying pan with oil and heat until hot. Drain the marinade from the chicken, reserving the onions. Cook the chicken with the onions and peppers over a high heat until browned.
- Serve with the warm tortillas, soured cream and salsa.
