Crowd Pleaser ~ Healthy Fajitas

Fajitas are quite a new thing to me. I have to admit Mexican isn't something I had really ventured into. I had always thought it was so unhealthy... Until now!
These fajitas are full of natural, metabolism-boosting, nutritious ingredients. Simple, easy substitutions remove the unnecessary added sugars in packet salsa and spice mixes. Using wholemeal tortillas instead of white ups the fiber and reduces the GI. For a lighter option skip the tortillas completely and serve with greens or salad wraps.

Ingredients (Serves 3-4):

500g chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 pack of wholemeal tortillas
2 large peppers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
spinach to serve

Spice mix:
1 tbsp chilli powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp paprika
pinch of salt and pepper

Salsa:
2 large tomatoes
1/4 onion
2 garlic cloves
bunch of basil (optional)

Method:

• Heat 1tbsp oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chicken
• Stir fry until sealed.
• Whilst the chicken is cooking, chop up the tomatoes and onion finely and add to the crushed garlic and basil. Blitz with a hand blender for a smoother consistency. Transfer to a bowl to serve. 
• Add the pepper red onion to the chicken and continue to stir fry until cooked through
• Add the spice mix and stir to combine
• Warm the tortillas in a microwave for 1 minute
• Serve directly from the wok with your choice of guac, sour cream or cheese and of course the salsa!
