Why not have a Mexican Party this weekend???!!! Olé!

What with it being MOVEMBER and it apparently being National Guacamole Day on Sunday 14th November - I figured why not throw a Mexican night in celebration of the great avocado and give yourself an excuse to put on your sombreros, knock back some Margarita's and eat some delicious fajitas!!!! Olé!

I have to have a choice of chicken or beef whenever i make fajitas so you will need to make three dishes for this delicious feast (which feeds 8 people!) - Chicken Dish, Beef dish and Guacamole. You also need to serve it with Sour Creme, Salsa, lettuce leaves and Tortillas which you can just buy from the supermarket!

4 Chicken Breasts cut into slices
1 onion sliced
1 red pepper sliced
1 yellow pepper sliced
1 green pepper sliced
1 lime juice

tsp flour

Fry the Chicken for about 4-5 minutes until sealed on all sides (add pepper and salt as you wish!). Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, fry for 2-3 minutes then add all the peppers and lime juice. Fry for a further 5 minutes then add the oregano and flour and mix well for 2 minutes. then add the chicken stock, turn the heat to very low and leave to simmer for 10 mins. Serve in a big bowl and place on the table!
