Method

  1. Chop peppers and fry in one pan.

  2. In a small bowl coat the chicken strips in fajita seasoning then fry until cooked through.

  3. Cook sweetcorn for 2-3 mins as instructed.

  4. Optional - warm your tortilla.

Remember: you can modify recipes to make them better suit your nutrition needs and/ or calorie budget. For example, swap the cooking oil for a spray to save calories, increase the chicken serving for more protein, do 2 tortillas instead of 1 for more carbohydrate.
