Easy Fajitas

These easy fajitas are simple, colourful and are bursting with spicy flavours! Our recipe gives the vegetables a lovely kick, which balances really well with the sourness from the cashew cream. Some people say the key to an excellent fajita is the tortilla, so try to find good quality tortillas from your local store.

We serve our fajitas with mashed avocado, sour cream and a few cilantro (coriander) leaves.
