Another simple recipe, this one is good for those days where you don’t want to wait too long to make it. You shorten your prep time even faster by prepping your veg beforehand and keeping it frozen in bags in your freezer.
Also, the more colour of veg you add, the better! We eat with our eyes so make it pop!
1. To make the fajita mix, take two or three strips from each colour of pepper and finely chop them. Set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining pepper strips and the onion until soft and starting to brown at the edges. Cool slightly and mix in the chopped raw peppers. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the spices and stir. Cook for a couple of mins more until the spices become aromatic and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a dish, leaving any juices behind, and keep warm.
2. Tip the beans into the same pan, then add plenty of seasoning. Stir the beans around the pan to warm them through and help them absorb any flavours of the fajita mix.
3. Warm the tortillas in a microwave or in a low oven, then wrap them so they don’t dry out. Serve the tortillas with the fajita mix and beans.
Add cheese, avocado, salsa and soured cream if preferred.
Add salad leaves for another of your 5-a-day.
Use wholemeal tortillas for extra fibre.
You can use sliced frozen peppers as an alternative to fresh ones.
If you want a meat alternative, cut 1-2 chicken breasts into strips and add to the pepper and onion mix. To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and cut in half – if any part is still raw, cook until done.
