I'm one of those people who like a little variety in their food. Sometimes, we have the ingredients ready to cook and I just feel like something different. One evening when I had originally planned to cook It's Nothing Like Chicken Fajitas I wondered how I could make it a little different
I had some left over Almost Indian-style pumpkin in the fridge so I came up with this Rare Blend - Almost Indian Fajitas. I offset the sweetness of the pumpkin with some chopped onion and a little yogurt.

| Almost Indian Fajitas |
Ingredients
A chicken breast
A pinch of chilli powder
A squeeze of lemon
A splash of olive oil
A pinch of salt
A couple of dollops of pre-cooked pumpkin
A small red onion
A tub of Greek-style yogurt
A couple of wholewheat tortillas
When cooking the pumpkin, I simply sautéed it in some mustard oil with a pinch of cumin and a little chopped red chilli.
You could use white tortillas but, not only do they not look so much like chapatis as the whole wheat ones, they aren't so healthy.
Equipment
A heavy bottomed grill pan
Method
Slice the chicken breast into "fingers" and then marinade them in the lemon juice, olive oil and chilli powder.
Heat the grill pan, once it is hot sprinkle a little salt over the chicken and grill quickly until the meat is fully cooked whilst still moist.
Remove the chicken from the pan and a let in rest for a couple of minutes.
Chop the onion.
In the meantime, chop the onion and spread a dollop of pumpkin on each tortilla.
Once the chicken has rested, place a couple of fingers on each tortilla and sprinkle a little onion on top.
A couple of spoons of yogurt nicely tops the dish off.
Fold and eat!
