Which additional ingredients can you add to tortillas, when making chicken fajitas?

Question

E.g. salad and sauces etc.

I'm making them for the first time tomorrow for my nieces and nephews, and I need to know what additional ingredients I need to buy.

Thank you

Answer 1

You can treat it as tacos - shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, gaucamole... etc.

For sides, you can do refried beans or mexican rice.

For something sweet, you can readily buy churros in the freezer section.

Answer 2

Most fajitas call for onions and peppers but with kids you might want to make more of a chicken taco. My nine year old enjoys Old ElPaso seasoning for the chicken, lettuce, cheddar cheese, sour cream, spanish rice, and refried beans. Good luck with the kids!

Answer 3

salad

Ingredients:
6 cup water
1 juice of 1/2 lime
16 oz whole green beans
2 cup jicama, cut into julienne
2 red pepper, julienne
1 herbed vinaigrette (below)
1 tsp chili powder
1 lettuce leaves
6 ripe olives, chopped

ED VINAIGRETTE

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp wine vinegar
1 juice of 1/2 lemon
1 juice of 1/2 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp dried basil leaves
1 tsp snipped parsley
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper


Instructions:
Heat water and lime juice to boiling. Place beans in wire strainer;
lower into boiling water. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Immediately
rinse under running cold water; drain. Place beans, jicama and red
peppers in individual bowls. Mix Herbed Vinaigrette and chili powder.
Pour 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette mixture over each vegetable. Cover
and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Arrange beans, jicama and red
peppers on lettuce leaves in Mexican flag design. Place olives in
center of rectangle formed by jicama. About the Mexican flag: The
national colors of Mexico are green, white and red. The green
symbolizes the lofty hopes of the new Republic; the white stands for
the purity of its endeavors and the red for the valor displayed in
pursuit of these noble goals. The Mexican Flag Salad represents these
colors with green, white and red vegetables and the chopped ripe
olives simulate the black eagle on the flag.

I make these with my son all the time and he puts his own filling in which is lettuce cheese and salsa he loves doing it himself.Some of the packet sauces are very hot and he doesn't like peppers or chillies which i love on mine so i set all the ingredients on the table and everybody has their own taste it's good fun
