Chicken Fajitas

Basically, what you're looking at here is a Mexican-style chicken mix wrapped in a tortilla. And why not?

I love fajitas because you can add all sorts of goodies to the wrap like guacamole (recipe coming up!), salsa (not the dance! the chunky salad-sauce!), plus anything else you like such as lettuce, refried beans, cream, hot sauce... Whatever you like!

You'll need:

- 2 chicken breasts (around 500g)
- 4 tortilla wraps
- the juice of 1/2 lemon
