I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of Mexican food – largely because it’s too spicy and carb-laden, not to mention all that cheese! My chicken fajita salad, however, is totally lush, packed full of veg and colour, plus it makes a super quick and easy meal. This recipe will serve two.

Ingredients
·         Two chicken breasts, diced
·         Half an onion, sliced
·         Half a red pepper, sliced
·         Half a green pepper, sliced
·         Half a sachet of Old El Paso fajita seasoning
·         One avocado, sliced
·         Quarter of a cucumber, diced
·         10 cherry tomatoes, halved
·         Two handfuls of mixed salad leaves or spinach
·         Two tortillas, grilled/toasted

Method
·         Fry the chicken in fry light and the fajita seasoning, adding the peppers and onions according to the packet’s instructions
·         Place the tortillas on plate and build your salad, beginning with the salad leaves.
·         Add the tomatoes, cucumber and avocado
·         Top with the chicken fajita mix

We didn’t have any to hand, but I love serving this with a dollop of sour cream or natural yogurt. If you like it spicy, salsa and jalapenos are also a good option. An alternative way to serve the salad is in a giant bowl, with shards or tortilla thrown on top, like croutons. One tortilla per person is surprisingly filling!
