Chicken fajitas with homemade guacamole & salsa
A griddle pan gives the nice, charred effect you want with fajitas, but you can also use a large pan or wok. If you use a griddle pan, keep the ingredients moving about so that nothing burns or sticks to the bottom. Normally I wouldn't recommend adding extra oil to a hot pan, but in this case it's good to give everything a drizzle now and then so the chicken and peppers stay nice and shiny.
