Packed with chicken and beans and on the table in 10 minutes, our fajita tacos are a brilliant recipe for busy evenings. To save time, we’ve seasoned the beans in our special Mexican spice blend and cooked them together until soft. Served with warm taco wraps, a fresh crunchy salad and grated cheese, the best way to enjoy these delicious fajitas is to plate everything up in the middle of your table and get everyone to build their own.
