Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method
6 steps
chop · 7mChicken cut into finger-width strips, peppers and onion into strips the same size so they cook at the same rate.
fold · 3mChicken tossed with the oil, spices, salt and the juice of half a lime. Fifteen minutes is enough; the acid firms the surface if it sits much longer.
fry · 8mPeppers and onion onto a fiercely hot dry pan in one layer and left to blacken in patches before they are moved. Do them in two goes if the pan is crowded — heaped in, they steam and never char.
- fry · 8m
Vegetables out, chicken in, spread out and left to colour, then turned until it is white through with no pink in the middle of the thickest strip.
grill · 4mFlatbreads onto the same dry pan a few seconds a side, stacked under a cloth as they come off so they stay soft.
finish · 3mEverything back in the pan together for a moment, coriander over, lime wedges alongside, and the pan carried to the table for people to build their own.
Worth knowing
Fajita is the cut, not the sizzle — faja means “belt”, the skirt steak ranch workers were paid in along the Texas border.
