Ingredients
500 g skinless chicken breast fillets
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
½ tsp ground allspice
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp onion flakes
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp chilli powder
½ red capsicum, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
400 g can cooked cannellini beans
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 small red chilli, de-seeded and diced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 wheat-flour tortillas
2 cups shredded lettuce (iceberg or cos)
125 ml (½ cup) sour cream
Preparation
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Cut chicken fillets into 1 cm wide strips and place in a bowl. Combine the oil, sherry vinegar, allspice, oregano, onion flakes, salt and chilli powder. Pour the marinade over the chicken, stirring to coat pieces thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes
Place the diced capsicum and tomatoes in a bowl with the drained and rinsed cannellini beans. Add the lemon juice, parsley and chilli, and season to taste. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
Heat a heavy-based frypan over a medium–high heat. Add the chicken strips; you won’t need to add any oil to the pan as there should be enough in the marinade. Cook the chicken by tossing and lifting the pieces, allowing them to brown.
Warm the tortillas in the preheated oven. Serve them with lettuce, chicken, bean salsa and sour cream, allowing everyone to assemble their own fajitas.

When using paprika make sure you are using the right variety for the dish you are cooking. The Spanish smoked paprika is ideal for paella, while the Hungarian sweet paprika is quite different in flavour and is ideal for their goulash.
