Mexican mexico mexican

I was feeling very Mexican the other day, and had a MASSIVE craving for something spicy, so I decided to head to Sainsbury's to find something that would satisfy my appetite. Walking aimlessly down the isles I came across an Old El Paso Fajita kit. So I just went for it.
I bought the kit, and all I needed to buy extra was some chicken, peppers and an onion. I had some salsa and guacamole in the cupboard at home so didn't need to worry about that. The total price came to £6.54 which was very good, as this kit fed up to 5 people.
I was home visiting at the time so took it upon myself to agree to cook for my family that night (risky move).

The method was so simple, first I had to cut the chicken into strips, along with the peppers and onions. Then I simply heated up a wok type pan and added some oil and put the chicken in until it was browned off. I got a bit confused at first as I had no idea how brown it was meant to be. 

After that, I added the peppers and the spice which was included in the fajita kit. That was then cooked for around 10-15 minutes more, just to ensure the chicken was properly cooked and I wouldn't give my family food poisoning. I then switched the hob off, and put the tortillas (which were also included in the kit), in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm.

And voila, that is basically all you have to do to make fajitas. It was literally so simple and all prepared and ready in under half an hour.
And I can comment that all my family enjoyed their dinner that night. Even though if they felt like they needed to say that. Mother was constantly keeping her hawk eyes on me so I wouldn't make a mess of her cooker.
So there, for under a tenner you can make fajitas for yourself and your family. (Only problem, you feel obliged to do the dishes afterwards)
