Rainbow Fajitas
Build it, wrap it, love it
You'll Need
- 2 chicken breasts (or a tin of beans for veggie), sliced
- Salt & black pepper
- 1 packet of your favourite fajita seasoning (or be experimental with any seasonings/sauces you already have!)
- 8 small wraps
- 1 each red/yellow/green pepper
- 1 onion
Optional Extras
CheeseSalsaSoured cream (or Greek yoghurt)SweetcornLettuceLime wedgesFresh coriander
Make It Your Own
Use a shop-bought fajita spice packet for speed, or mix your own from cumin, paprika, chilli powder and garlic granules — usually cheaper if you cook fajitas often.
Serve With
Grated carrot, cucumber and tomato on the side
Let's Cook
- Season the sliced raw chicken with salt and pepper. Slice the peppers and onion.
- Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, then add the veg.
- Stir in fajita seasoning with a splash of water.
- Cook 5 more minutes until the veg is soft but still has some bite (if you prefer your veg softer, add a lid to the pan so it steams a little).
- Squeeze over a little lime juice if you have it, and warm the wraps.
- Serve everything for building, scattered with coriander if using.
