Ingredients

  • olive oil 2 tbsp
  • bell pepper 2 (sliced)
  • red onion 1 (sliced)
  • garlic cloves 2 (minced)
  • chicken breast 2 (sliced)
  • smoked paprika 2 tsp
  • ground cumin 2 tsp
  • ground coriander 1 tsp
  • dried oregano 1 tsp
  • lime to taste (juice)
  • avocado 3 (crushed)
  • chilli flakes 2 tsp
  • mixed leaf salad 2 handful
  • mature cheddar 50 g (grated)
  • sweet potato 500 g (chopped)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Slice the sweet potato into fries, no need to peel. Add the sweet potato fries to a baking tray and toss with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the red onion, bell pepper and chicken.
  • Heat the rest of the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bell pepper, red onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano and cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with the lime juice and salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone then crush the flesh with the ground coriander and chilli flakes. Season to taste with lime juice.
  • Heat the tortilla wraps in the microwave, or in a frying pan, according to the packet instructions. Grate the cheese.
  • Spread the guacamole on each wrap then top with the chicken fajita mixture and some grated cheese. Serve alongside the sweet potato fries and salad leaves. Enjoy!
