You can't go wrong with basic fajitas topped with all the fresh salad classics, salsa and a squeeze of lime.

2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 coriander roots (from a bunch of fresh coriander), finely chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
600g skinless chicken breast fillets, trimmed of excess fat, sliced
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
Large leaves from 1 butter lettuce
1 roughly chopped avocado
1/3 cup good-quality salsa
Lime wedges, to serve

Method

1.

Place garlic, coriander, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2.

Combine onion, capsicum, olive oil and remaining lime juice in a bowl.
3.

Heat a lightly oiled chargrill over medium-high heat. When hot, cook chicken and vegetables, in batches, for 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through, turning to brown all over.
4.

Serve the chicken mixture with the lettuce leaves, avocado, salsa and lime wedges, for people to assemble themselves at the table.
