A low-fat, low-cal moreish Mexican dish of chicken fajitas, with a lemony kick.

Ingredients

4 skinless free-range chicken breasts

Juice of 2 lemons

1 fat garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp smoked hot paprika

½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)

3 tbsp olive oil

1 each red and yellow pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

Flour tortillas, warmed, to serve

For the fresh tomato salsa

6 ripe vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of ½ lime

Small handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Small handful fresh mint leaves, chopped

Method

Thickly slice the chicken breasts and place in a bowl with the lemon juice, garlic, dried spices and 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix everything together in a bowl, season and set aside.

Preheat a large griddle pan over a high heat. Season the chicken, and toss the peppers and onion in the remaining oil. Griddle the chicken for 3 minutes, turning occasionally, then add the peppers and onion and cook for a further 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve the chargrilled chicken and vegetables in tortillas, along with the fresh tomato salsa.
