My Mexican Fajita Feast

I wanted something quick, easy and tasty to make for dinner tonight. One of my all time favourite dinners is fajitas! So moreish. 

Fajitas are also perfect for sharing. We had a couple of friends round to eat with us and fajitas are a great self service option that can be easily adapted to your own and your guests personal taste. 

The spice mix is listed below and can also be adapted to your own personal taste. Add more chilli and cayenne if you like it hotter or leave it out all together if you can't handle the heat. 

I love to add a bit of crunch to my fajitas and pico de gallo is light and zesty as well as being simple and easy to prepare.
