Method
- Tip the onions, peppers, garlic, chicken, fajita seasoning and honey into a large, freezer-proof bag. Seal and shake to combine, then freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, defrost fully in the fridge overnight.
- To cook, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the fajita mix and cook for 8-10 mins, tossing frequently, until the chicken is cooked throughout.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave on high for 30 secs until softened, then fill with the cooked chicken fajita mix. To serve, top with the soured cream, Cheddar and fresh coriander, if you like.
