CHICKEN: I was given this recipe by a friend, long time ago, and tried it only once with good result. Hope that it works for you.

CHICKEN:CHICKEN FAJITA:



4-6 large flour tortillas

1-2 tbsp. cooking oil

1 medium red onion, sliced

1-2 tbsp. chilli pepper, or to taste

1 lb. boneless chicken breast, cut into strips

1½ tsp. dried oregano

3 tbsp. all purpose flour

1 cup hot milk

1 each red and green pepper, cut into strips

½ cup chopped tomatoes

½ cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce leaves



In a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp. oil until hot and cook chicken. Add chilli powder, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

Heat 1 tbsp. oil and cook onions and peppers for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes at low-medium heat. Whisk in hot milk gradually, whisking constantly to remove lumps. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer a few minutes until sauce is thickened. Adjust seasoning and return chicken to pan.

Warm up tortillas according to package directions; and spoon fillings into center of each tortilla. Add tomatoes, lettuce and cheese. Fold up bottom of tortilla then fold sides to enclose filling. Serve immediately.
