Chicken fajita wraps

These are a great alternative to breaded chicken and are very simple and quick to cook. Flattening the chicken in this way make it much more tender and also reduces the cooking time. The kids will probably enjoy giving it a good bash! Adding the lemon zest and thyme creates a delicious freshness but it also works well without if you don’t have them to hand.

We have listed three different dips that can be used with the chicken fingers.  Changing the dips is a great way of adding variety of tastes and ingredients to your child’s diet whilst still cooking a simple dish you are familiar with.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 wholemeal tortilla wraps

  • 2 chicken breast

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ¼ tsp cayenne

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 150ml sour cream

  • 1 avocado

  • 1 red pepper

  • Oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

Take your chicken and cut into long finger like strips and place in a bowl. Add your spices and mix together.

  1. Heat a frying/sauté pan to a medium heat with a little dash of oil and add your marinated chicken pieces.

  2. Cook for 5-10 minutes until cooked through but tender inside (if unsure, it is always good to cut a piece in half and have a look).

  3. Drizzle the honey on to the chicken and quickly stir through on the heat for a minute or two to caramelize over the chicken slightly.

  4. Place your wrap onto a clean surface and spread on a good dollop of sour cream, some sliced up red pepper and avocado. Place your cooled chicken on top and wrap up.

  5. I fold up the bottom of my wrap first then roll so that the middle cannot fall out one side.

NOTES

Feel free to add any other middles you might like such as grated carrot, raisins, spinach leaves, sliced beetroot, etc.
