Notes
- Save yourself some time by using frozen onions, lazy garlic and a good quality store bought fajita seasoning.
- If you prefer your peppers with some real crunch on them, then don't add them at the start and instead add them about 45 minutes before the finish time.
- Add some extra flavour by stirring in some chopped fresh coriander before serving.
- If you find this too acidic with the lime and tomatoes, then you can stir in a little honey at the end.
