We love a Mexican night in our house. It certainly helps with the decision of what to have for tea. As with my Banging Bargain Burritos, I wanted to show you with the same few spices you can make the fajitas without buying the kits. Don't forget to buy the wraps from the bread aisle, not the section near the Mexican food kits they do cost more. These are so tasty and can be altered to almost anybody's liking. Like B.B.Q fajitas? Use half B.B.Q sauce and half passata. Like them hot? Throw in some jalapenos or up the heat of the chilli powder. Play around with food and make it your own, experiment with flavours and involve the family. Have a themed night each week to help with tea ideas, we tried Mexican Monday, Meat free Wednesday and Fish Friday!
For the fajitas:
3 chicken fillets cut into strips
3 peppers sliced
2 red onions sliced
300ml passata
3 tsp cumin
3 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp paprika
3 tsp mild chilli powder
Tbsp oil
Wraps
After you cut the chicken shake all the spices onto the meat to marinate for 30 minutes or more covered in the fridge.
In a frying pan with the oil fry off the chicken for 15 minutes.
Add the peppers, onions and passata and cook for a further 15 minutes until the sauce reduces.
Spoon the mixture into a warm serving dish and take to the table with the wraps, salad and trimmings for everyone to make their own.
