Ingredients

For the fajitas
  • pack of fajita spice mix
  • yellow pepper, halved, cut into strips
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 lime, juiced
To serve
  • flour tortillas
  • black beans, drained
  • coriander, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced, or 1 small tub guacamole (optional)
  • 30 ml soured cream or creme fraiche (optional)

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry half the pepper strips, and the onion, on a low heat. Cook until soft and starting to brown at the edges – about 10'. Cool slightly and mix in the chopped raw peppers. Add the garlic and cook for 1', then add the fajita spice mix. Cook for a couple of mins more until the spices become aromatic, then add half the lime juice and season. Transfer to a dish, leaving any juices behind, and keep warm.

Step 2

Tip the black beans into the same pan, then add the remaining lime juice and plenty of seasoning. Stir the beans around the pan to warm them through and help them absorb any flavours of the fajita mix, then stir through the coriander.

Step 3

Warm the tortillas in a microwave or in a low oven, then wrap them so they don't dry out. Serve the tortillas with the fajita mix, beans, avocado and soured cream for everyone to help themselves.
