Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 peppers, any colour, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 2–3 medium courgettes (about 440g/15½oz), trimmed and cut into roughly 6cm/2½in sticks
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning mix from a packet (see recipe tip)
  • 8 soft tortilla wraps
  • 150ml/¼ pint soured cream or crème fraîche
  • ground black pepper

Method

  1. Put two tablespoons of the oil and all the vegetables in a large bowl, season with a little ground black pepper and toss together well.

  2. Place a large non-stick frying pan or wok over a high heat and stir fry half the vegetables for 4 minutes.

  3. Tip into a bowl. Cook the rest of the vegetables in the same way.

  4. Once the second batch of vegetables is ready, add the remaining oil, the first batch of vegetables and the fajita seasoning to the pan and toss together over a medium-high heat for 1 minute.

  5. Warm the tortillas according to the pack instructions – a microwave works well for this.

  6. Serve the spicy vegetables straight from the pan, piled into the warm tortillas and topped with soured cream.
