I had never eaten fajitas before I went to live in Texas twenty years ago. I use turkey or salmon, two of the superfoods regularly in the recipe and if you make your own guacamole and salsa with avocados, tomatoes and onions you will be using other superfoods in this great dish for entertaining or for a family meal. 

TURKEY FAJITAS for 6 people. 

I usually allow three tortillas per person and I also use the soft maize tortillas by Old El Paso as being the best and the largest for this dish. There is nothing worse than a mean fajita.  So I use plenty of lean turkey instead of beef or chicken or you can use large peeled prawns if you prefer. 

SEASONING. 

I use this low salt recipe to sprinkle over the vegetables and meat during cooking. 

Pimiento  5 teaspoons
Chili Powder  6 teaspoons
Garlic Powder 2 teaspoons
Ground Cumin 4 teaspoons
Salt ¼  teaspoon
Black pepper ¼ teaspoon.  

TURKEY FILLING FOR TORTILLAS 

2 whole turkey breasts, sliced into long strips.
2 large Red Peppers sliced lengthways into strips
2 large Green or yellow peppers sliced lengthways into strips
4 large Onions sliced into thick rings
18 soft corn or wheat tortillas.
Olive Oil 

In a large oven proof dish arrange all the vegetables in layers sprinkling a little of the seasoning onto each lager drizzle a little olive oil over the dish and put into a hot oven around 200 degrees for 10 minutes.  Remove and add the strips of turkey so that they do not overlap and put the remaining seasoning over the entire dish.  Drizzle with a little more olive oil and put back in the oven until the turkey is cooked thoroughly which is about 15 to 20 minutes. 

Serve in the oven dish at the table. 

Warm your tortillas and a tip here is to put 6 each in a foil packet and pop in the oven for the last 5 minutes cooking time. Turn the oven off and leave two of the packets in there until you need them. 

On the table you will need dishes of guacamole, salsa and Fromage Blanc.  By all means use sour cream or Crème Fraiche is you are not worried about the calories.  You can also serve grated cheese with the other dressings.  I have some recipes for both guacamole and salsa that you can contact me for. 

For anyone who has not eaten fajitas before, a teaspoon of each sauce is spread over a warm tortilla and then the peppers; onions and turkey mix is placed in the middle.  The bottom end of the tortilla is folded towards the middle and the two sides are brought over to form a wrap.  The whole thing is eaten with your hands. 

I usually have a large bowl of the spinach salad on the table as well as it helps if the food is spicier for some people than normal.   

You can substitute lean beef; chicken fresh peeled prawns in the recipe and adjust the cooking times slightly.  If you are vegetarian then add your favourite vegetables and roasted these make a delicious alternative.
