Ingredients

- 1tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1-2tsp cajun seasoning
- 6tbsp fresh tomato salsa
- 4 wheat flour tortillas, warmed
- Sliced red onions, to garnish
- Salad and soured cream, to serve
Method
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the peppers and carrots, and fry for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the spring onions, garlic and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 min adding a little water if necessary to prevent the mixture sticking.
- Spoon a little of the tomato salsa into the middle of each tortilla. Top with a quarter of the vegetables and then fold the tortilla over loosely. Garnish with red onions and serve with salad and soured cream.
