Chicken Fajita corn tortilla wraps

So it is the official Football season! We are talking Worldcup 2018! So it is also going to be that time of the year for friends, football and lots of Food! This homemade Chicken Fajita wraps are just what you need to dig in and watch the match. ;)

I could eat Mexican all day, everyday! If you make these once you are definitely going to add this to your menu. I used to buy the ready made kit before, when I tried this by myself, there was no looking back. I have already made it like few times and every single time it tastes amaaaazing!

I wasn't into football at all before, born and raised in India we grew up worshiping cricket. I remember a match would be a war at times, and not a single person on the street. Local shops would shut down early, the shop which sell electronics would have the television sets on their display windows playing the match, and there would be a massive crowd gathered in front of it. The whole country would become one cricket frenzy nation. I enjoyed watching those world cup matches with my sister and brother and going ballistic every time India hit a 6 or a 4 run. I was eating and biting every single nail on my fingers :D Loved every bit of those days and miss them too. 

After marrying a Polish man I started watching football, now cheering for Poland and Ireland likewise ;) This year we bought a little t-shirt for our boy supporting his Daddy's home town. :) 

Back to Fajitas, it is delicious when eaten with corn tortillas, get creative and can even try it out with lettuce wraps if you want. Add a generous amount of guacamole, or if you have no time just add chopped avocado still tastes great.

Let me know how you get along with it, if you have tried it please do share it with me on Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag soulfulandhealthy.
