Slice up the peppers and onion.
Add the vegetable oil to your pan, cut your chicken or beef into strips, and cook on high heat for 3 minutes.

While the mixture cooks, rinse the sweetcorn and grate the cheese (or use pre-grated).

“The great thing I love about fajitas is that the leftovers pack away nicely and can be used for other meals throughout the week, and it can be adapted to dietary requirements, spice levels and taste.
