Vegetable and Turkey Fajitas

Vegtable Fajitas
A tasty dish that's quick to prepare, our vegetable and turkey fajitas make a great mid-week meal. Make them without the turkey for a tasty vegetarian alternative!

Ingredients

  • 300g Turkey Breast, Skinless
  • ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Crushed
  • ½ Tsp Chilli Powder
     
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Aubergine
  • 1 Medium Courgette
  • 1 Medium Yellow Pepper
  • 1 Medium Onion
     
  • 8 7" Tortillas
  • 170g Pot Low Fat Salsa
  • 50g Low Fat Sour Cream

Method

  1. In a large bowl mix ½ tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic and chilli powder together.
  2. Cut the turkey breast into thins strips 1½cm (¾") wide. Add to the bowl and stir until all sides are coated. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate.
  3. Meanwhile, top and tail the aubergine and courgette; de-seed the pepper; halve and peel the onion - cut all vegetables into thin strips 1cm (½") wide.
  4. Preheat oven to 190oC and pre-warm 2 oven-proof dishes.
  5. Heat a wok over a hot heat. Add ½ tbsp oil and, when smoking, add the vegetables (with great care!) Stir fry for 5 minutes, or until vegetables soften and turn brown around edges. Remove from wok to oven-proof dish and pop in oven to keep warm.
  6. Place the tortillas onto a plate and cover with clingfilm (ready to microwave at last minute). Alternatively, wrap in foil and place in the oven.
  7. Heat the remaining ½ tbsp olive in the wok, add the turkey and stir fry for 3-4 minutes (or until browned on the outside and white on the inside). Once cooked remove from wok to remaining oven-proof dish.
  8. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute (or remove pre-warmed tortillas from oven)
  9. These fajitas are best served ready to wrap - with each person taking an eighth of the vegetables, an eighth of the turkey, a large teaspoon of salsa and small teaspoon of sour cream per tortilla. (NB: 2 tortillas each!)
