We gave our favourite Mexican meal an Italian twist in this fast, kid-friendly pasta toss. It boasts all the usual fajita fixings, no wrapping required.
1/2 500-g pkg fettuccine, linguine or rigatoni pasta
1 large onion
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 sweet bell peppers
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup chopped cilantro
grated cheddar
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook following package directions until al dente, 8 to 10 min. Meanwhile, slice onion in half, then thinly slice. Cut chicken into bite-size strips. Coat a large, wide frying pan with oil and set over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink, 2 min. Add onion and reduce heat to medium. Sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 min.
Meanwhile, slice peppers into bite-size strips. Add to pan and sprinkle with seasonings. Stir-fry until chicken is cooked through, 2 to 4 min.
Drain cooked pasta, but leave in pan. Add chicken mixture along with remaining ingredients, except cheese. Toss to mix. Sprinkle with cheese.
