Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
5 A Day portions per serving: 2
For the fajitas:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion (chopped)
4 skinless chicken breasts (diced)
1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow pepper (chopped)
a handful of mushrooms (chopped)
1 packet of fajita spice mix
8 soft flour tortillas
To serve:
tomatoes
cucumber
lettuce
tomato salsa (optional)
Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large pan.
Add the onion and chicken. Fry for around three minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the peppers and mushrooms and stir. Cook until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the fajita spice mix. Continue to fry on a low heat.
Meanwhile, prepare a mixed salad of tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce leaves.
Warm the tortillas in a preheated oven for 3 minutes or in the microwave for 1 minute.
Serve the fajitas with the salad, and a tomato salsa if you like.
(V): For a vegetarian version, simply replace the chicken with a tin of kidney beans, drained (choose those canned in water with no added salt or sugar).
Some carrot sticks with lower-fat houmous or guacamole make a great starter.
Use any leftover fajita filling in a sandwich or baked potato.
