Veggie Fajitas (recipe)

WOW – Mark

Here’s a quick, tasty recipe that fills the plate and hungry tummies. Better still, it makes eight fajitas to feed a family of four, including side salad and guacamole dip, for just £7.15 (£1.79 per person).

We made this as part of a Morrison’s challenge to feed the family for under a tenner, so the majority of the items listed are Morrison’s M Savers brand.

Ingredients

• 2 M Savers peppers 67p (in a £1.68 bag of 5)
• 1 M Savers courgette 50p (in a £1.50 bag of 3)
• 1 M Savers salad onion 15p (in a 1kg bag)
• 2 Morrison’s cloves of garlic 7p (approx. quarter of a 26p bulb)
• 1 Morrison’s fajita kit £2.29 – containing 8 tortillas, 1 sachet of spices and 1 sachet of salsa
• 1 Morrison’s lime 30p
• 1 Morrison’s large avocado £1
• 12 M Savers tomatoes 38p (of a 75p box)
• 1 Morrison’s bag of iceberg lettuce £1
• 55g Discovery soured cream 20p (approx. quarter of a £1 bottle)
• 90g M Savers mature cheese 59p (quarter of a £2.36 block)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil 0p (already in the cupboard)

Instructions

• Make the guacamole by roughly mashing the avocado, squeezing in a splash of lime juice (to taste) and stirring in a dash of the salsa
• To make the fajita mix, de-seed the peppers and slice them into long thin strips
• Halve the courgette and slice into thin strips
• Roughly chop the onion and garlic
• Heat 2tbsp of oil in a heavy gauge pan
• Tip in the veggies and sprinkle over the spices
• Fry on a medium-high heat until the seasoning tastes cooked but the veggies still have bite
• Grate the cheese
• Place all 8 tortillas and on a microwavable plate and zap for 45 seconds
• Serve the veggies to the table with the tortilla, cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, halved tomatoes and lettuce
• Let everyone construct their own!
