Ingredients

• 2 red onions
• 2 red peppers
• 2 tomatoes
• 2 spring onions
• 12 small white tortilla wraps
• 80g cheddar cheese
• 2 large British chicken breast fillets
• 4 tsp smoked paprika
• 4 tsp ground cumin
• 4 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
• 160g natural yoghurt
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 32g tomato paste (2 tbsps)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6. Combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried chilli flakes (cooking for kids? Skip the chilli!), 2 tsp sugar and a pinch of salt on a plate. Mix all the spices together – this is your fajita seasoning.
2. Deseed the red peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips (as finely as you can!). Peel and finely slice the red onions.
3. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
4. Add the sliced chicken to the fajita seasoning and give everything a good mix up until the chicken is fully coated in all the spices.
5. Boil a kettle. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken, pepper and onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until the peppers are beginning to soften.
6. Meanwhile, dissolve the tomato paste and the Kallo chicken stock cube in 150ml boiled water – this is your tomato stock. Add the tomato stock to the pan with the chicken and cook for 2-3 min further or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the peppers have softened – this is your chicken & vegetable fajita filling.
7. While the chicken is cooking, add the tortillas to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 3 min or until warmed through. Grate the cheddar cheese. Dice the tomatoes finely. Trim, then slice the spring onions finely.
8. Serve the chicken & vegetable fajita filling over the tortillas. Top with the grated cheese and chopped tomato, dollop over the natural yoghurt, garnish with the sliced spring onion and enjoy!
