Chicken Fajita Filling

Chicken Fajita Filling is a combination of flavours, colours, spices and aromas that are perfect companions. The seasoning of cumin, paprika, garlic and chilli powder and oregano creates a lovely warmth and heat in the fajita. Any excess heat is cooled by the sour cream. Serve as part of a main dish with tortillas, sour cream, pico de gallo and sliced avocado.

A simple filling that creates such a beautiful meal. The spice mix is amazing and I have used it elsewhere especially on bbqs.
