Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together three packets of sour cream and 2 tsp water (six packets of sour cream and 4 tsp water for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate small bowl, combine guacamole and remaining sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and shallot to hot pan. Season with ½ tsp Fajita Spice Blend (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the Fajita Spice Blend in the next step.)
Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are lightly browned and beginning to soften, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium heat. Add chicken and season with remaining Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Add tomato paste and stock concentrate to pan with chicken. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and chicken is evenly coated, 30-60 seconds.
Stir in ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Some loved the fajita spice blend, while others found it too spicy or preferred taco seasoning for better flavor.
- Ease of prep: Many found this recipe easy and fun to make, with one customer mentioning it was great for family cooking.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing the tomato paste for a less thick sauce; add extra seasoning to boost the chicken's flavor.
- Portions: A few noted there wasn't enough protein after cooking; consider adding extra chicken if you're extra hungry.
- Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet instead of microwaving to keep them soft and pliable.
Reviews from our home cooks
The guacamole in this (with a little bit of sour cream to stretch it and keep it from turning dark green) was a very smart move on Hellofresh team part! This was a great recipe.
I didn't love the chicken. The tomato paste seems odd to me and makes a very thick paste on the chicken. I'd rather just use seasoning.
Adding a lot of flavor to the chicken while cooking made a big difference.
Kids even loved these tacos! They gave them a 10 out of 10!
Too much spice. Even cutting the spices by 2/3rd was not enough.
I'm not a huge fan of chicken thighs, I would have preferred chicken breast. But with the flavors, I didn't notice too much.
Everything was wonderful. Had my husband make up the tacos and we loved them.
Microwaving tortillas for 30 secs made them tough!!! Also needed more spicy to flavor it
Yummy! Wish there was an option to add extra tortillas!
Flour tortillas contains way too many artificial ingredients and preservatives. The tacos came out tasty. But we would like to have less processed ingredients. In general we feel like there is not enough transparency about the ingredients especially on the spice blends and other small packets
