Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tbsp olive oil, extra
60ml (¼ cup) lime juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
8 flour tortillas
2 onions, sliced
2 capsicums, cut into thin strips
125g (1 cup) grated cheddar cheese
1 large avocado, sliced
250g (1 cup) tomato salsa

Method

Step 1
Trim the chicken of fat and sinew, and cut into thin strips. Place the chicken strips in a shallow non-metallic dish. Combine the oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin and coriander in a jug, and mix well. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Step 2
Preheat a barbecue grill or flat plate to high. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place on a cool part of the barbecue grill to warm through for 10 minutes. Heat the oil on a flat plate. Cook the onion and capsicum for five minutes, or until soft. Move the vegetables to a cooler part of the plate to keep warm.
Step 3
Place the chicken and marinade on the flat plate and cook for five minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken, vegetables and wrapped tortillas to a serving platter. Make up individual fajitas by placing the chicken, onion and capsicum, cheese and avocado over the tortillas. Top with the salsa and roll up to enclose the filling.
