Chicken fajitas
I absolutely love mexican food its full of flavor and very filling. This no carb version is amazing and I'm sure you will love it as much a we do.
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper diced
- 6 large yellow bell pepper cut off tops and remove seeds- these are instead of tortillas
- 1 large green bell pepper diced
- 5 raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin lengthwise (about 7 oz. each)
- 1 slice large red onion thin
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pot of 0% total greek yogurt
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 3 avocado very ripe
- juice 1 large lime
- leaves handful coriander and stalks chopped, plus a few leaves, roughly chopped, to serve
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 chilli red or green, deseeded and finely chopped
- 250 g ripe vine tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 red chilli
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
- Put the entire peppers in place of tortillas in the oven for 25/30 mins they need to be cooked through ready for the filling. I put tops i just put in for the last 15 mins so they don't fall apart.
- Make the guacamole: use a large knife to pulverise the tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl. Halve and stone the avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
- Tip all the other ingredients into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed. Scatter with the coriander.
- Make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes, then squeeze out and discard the seeds – this seems a bit wasteful, but it really intensifies the flavour of the salsa. Finely chop the tomato flesh and onion. Halve, seed and finely chop the chilli. Mix the tomato, onion and chilli in a bowl with the coriander and some salt and pepper. At this point the salsa can be covered and chilled for up to 2 days, but bring it back to room temperature before serving.
- Saute’ everything in a large pan, adding the spices about half way through.
- Fill your peppers and serve topped with salsa and guacamole and Greek yogurt.

Sunday Roast Beef
A healthy spin on a sunday roast. I have a great farmers market close to my house, the meat is organic, locally sourced and oustanding quality it really does make for a lovely sunday roast.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg top side of beef
- 1 large pack Asparagus
- 1 large bag New potatoes enough for 4 each
- 2 packets tomatoes on the vine
- 1 handful thyme
- 1 tso chilli flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red pepper sliced length ways
- 1 orange pepper sliced length ways
- 1 large red onion chop into segments
- 8 Mushrooms sliced
- 2 courgettes sliced
Instructions
- To prepare your beef:
- Take your beef out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven. Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/ gas 9. Chop the vegetables, pile all the veg, chilli flakes and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray with some coconut oil oil. Drizzle the beef with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat.
- To cook your beef:
- Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven. Turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Now put veggies into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking. Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them burning.
- When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so. Cover it with a layer of tinfoil and a tea towel.
