Method

  1. Slice the onions and fry until soft. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Add in the fajita spices and peppers and fry until soft.
  2. While the fajita mix is cooking, prepare the pancake batter. Cook the sweetcorn, according to packet instructions and allow to cool.
  3. Measure out the flour, salt and coriander and add in the sweetcorn. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then whisk into the flour mix.
  4. Heat a little oil/butter in a large frying pan and pour in a large ladle of batter when hot. Allow to cook on one side and flip/turn to cook the other. Lower the heat if the corn starts to pop.
  5. Lay the cooked pancakes onto a plate and pile in the fajita filling, sauces and cheese. Fold to serve.
