6. Place the chicken skewers on the barbecue or griddle pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Place the chicken skewers on a serving plate and serve with the tomato and avocado salsa, warmed tortillas, lettuce and soured cream. Allow each person to assemble the fajitas themselves.

Need to add ground cumin too. Don't need to do as kebabs

A 5 star recipe! This is a really gorgeous recipe - not in a thick tomato sauce as other recipes but a fresh taste that works just brilliantly with guacamole, salsa, low fat yogurt and grated cheese - a great weekend meal and also good for casual entertaining - definitely recommend you try this.
