Slimming World Recipe : Fajita Plate

One of my favorite things to eat is Mexican food. I love all the cheese, meat, sour cream and rainbow vegetables. I therefore love a mid week Mexican treat sometimes - (Slimming World friendly of course), Mexican food doesn't have to be calorific!

This week I decided to try a combination of recipes I have seen that Slimming World offer to create my very own fajita bowl! I loved it so much that I thought I would share it with all of you too! To make this beaut you will need (this serves 2) :

• Chicken Breasts (diced or sliced, its all about preference) 
• 1 Red Pepper
• 1 Yellow Pepper
• 2 Onions (white or red, again preference) 
• Either :- Old El Paso Fajita Mix (5 syns for the whole packet, or 2.5 syns per portion) or make your own so it's free using smoked paprika, cumin and chilli!
• Boiled Rice
• Salad Leaves or Lettuce 
• Fat Free Fromage Frais 
• Cheese (40g of lighter cheddar per person as HEXA or 6 syns)  

And here's how I made it:

1. Start by putting your rice and water in a pan to cook.
*tip : I add spices to my rice to make it more interesting! I added turmeric in mine!

2. Once that has started bubbling away, put your diced/sliced chicken into a pan and brown for 3-5 minuets. Then add in your sliced/diced peppers and onion, pan fry this for a further 5 minuets (until chicken is nearly cooked).

3. Sprinkle on your choice of fajita mix (Old El Paso or homemade) and pan fry for a further 2-3 minuets.

4. Plate up your choice of salad leaves or lettuce , 40g of cheddar, cooked rice , chicken fajita mix and et voila! You have a Slimming World friendly Mexican feast.

This recipe is so versatile you could swap the rice for Slimming World friendly wedges (as picture above) , use some low fat sour cream for a few syns or why not add a wholemeal wrap as part of your HEXB!
