Method

  1. Put two tablespoons of the oil and all the vegetables in a large bowl, season with a little ground black pepper and toss together well.
  2. Place a large non-stick frying pan or wok over a high heat and stir fry half the vegetables for 3–4 minutes, or until lightly browned and just cooked. Tip into a bowl. Cook the rest of the vegetables in the same way.
  3. Once the second batch of vegetables is ready, add the remaining oil, the first batch of vegetables and the fajita seasoning mix to the pan and toss together over a medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes, or until hot.
  4. Warm the tortillas according to the pack instructions – a microwave works well for this. Serve the spicy vegetables straight from the pan, piled into the warm tortillas and topped with soured cream.

Notes

For extra special fajitas, add guacamole, salsa, grated cheddar and some fresh coriander.

The remaining fajita mix will keep well, either in the packet, folded down and sealed or in a small jar, ready for next time.
