Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 peppers, red or orange, deseeded, then sliced
  • 2 clove/s garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2-3 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Fajita Seasoning, to taste
  • 3 tbsp tomato purée
  • 300g leftover or readycooked chicken, shredded
  • 300g pack Gran Luchito 10 Soft Taco Wraps
  • 25g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped
  • 200g pack feta

For the fennel slaw

  • 2 bulb/s fennel, trimmed, cored, halved and finely sliced
  • 4 juice of 3, plus 1 cut into wedges, to serve
  • 20g caster sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Method

  1. Mix the fennel, lime juice and sugar with the salt and allow the fennel to soak in the juices and become floppy for 30 minutes. Toss every so often, to redistribute the liquid.

  2. When the fennel has soaked for 15 minutes or so, heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Once shimmering, fry the onion and peppers for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until browned in places and softening.

  3. Lower the heat to medium, then add the garlic and fajita seasoning to the pan and fry for 2 minutes more until fragrant. Stir in the tomato purée and fry for 1 minute, then add the chicken, season if liked, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until piping hot throughout.

  4. Warm the wraps according to pack instructions. Drain the fennel, then stir the coriander through the chicken mixture. Serve the fennel and chicken with tortillas and crumble the feta over the top.

Cook’s tip

Sliced avocado or guacamole, chilli sauce and natural yogurt or soured cream make great optional add-ons here.
