Ingredients
- 1 pack fajita spice mix (about 30g) - check that your chosen fajita mix is gluten free, if required
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 3 mixed peppers, deseeded and sliced
- 1 x 320g pack mini chicken fillets, cut into thirds
- 1 x 380g pack black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 x 250g packs pre-cooked brown rice
- ½ x 300ml pot Be Good To Yourself soured cream
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7, with a very large shallow roasting tin inside (if you don’t have a really large one, use 2 trays).
- In a large bowl, stir the spice mix into the oil, then toss the onions, peppers and chicken in to coat. Tip into the hot roasting tin (or divide between 2 trays – you want everything fairly well spread out so that they roast rather than steam). Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Stir everything around and cook for another 5 minutes, then mix in the black beans and rice and return to the oven to heat through for 5 minutes.
-
Serve with the soured cream drizzled over, scattered with chopped coriander.TipMake it veggie
Swap the chicken for a 300g pack of prepared butternut squash and sweet potato. Microwave according to pack instructions, then roast as directed.
