~*Cooking with Bae: Part 3 - Fajitas*~

It's been a while since I've posted a "Cooking with Bae" piece!




Last weekend was the first time in ages since J and I were able to cook something at home (blame the Christmas madness!) and to be honest, it wasn't anything massively exciting or complicated. Nevertheless, I am going to share it with you and hope that this inspires you to cook at home...maybe with your bae too!




This time, we decided to cook Fajitas, mainly because it's cheap and quick to prepare, and J wanted Mexican food (like he always does). We did cheat a little...well, quite a lot actually, because most of the stuff that we used, such as the Fajita seasoning and the accompaniments, were shop-bought, i.e. from packets and bottles! BUT...please take this as a review of the products we used, as we still encourage home cooking as much as possible!


First, we cut up some fresh chicken breast, onions and peppers and placed them in a frying pan, lightly cooking over medium heat. We then mixed in a packet of Santa Maria Fajita Mix (mild) and stirred until the chicken, onion and peppers were covered in seasoning.

We also chopped up some fresh iceberg lettuce and grated some cheese (J's job!) to add to the Fajitas.

For accompaniments, we used Mexi Grande Guacamole (in a bottle), Santa Maria Classic Mexican Salsa and Aldi's Snackrite Sour Cream. I have to be honest, the shop-bought Guacamole has nothing on the proper homemade stuff!!

The wholemeal wraps that we used for the Fajitas were Asda's own brand which I lucky managed to buy from the "Whoopsies!" section for 10p a packet (of 8 wraps). So I bought 5 packs and froze most of them! :D


We also cut up some fresh watermelon for dessert.

For those who know me are aware that I am not a big fan of pre-made sauces, seasoning, etc, but the ones we used in this instance were OK - nothing too special. I wouldn't discourage people from purchasing the products we used, but I personally wouldn't be in a rush to go out and re-buy them either.

Overall, I would give the food portion of the dining experience a 5/10, though dining with J after a 2-week gap was a lot of fun - I really miss him when he's not around. Next time, we will definitely be cooking from scratch!
