This is soooooo tasty and literally the best Mexican inspired food ever! Fast, tasty and easy to prepare, you can pan fry, bake or cook using the amazing cooking bag I’ve been trialling! The best part is this is low carb and satisfying, plus you can serve on salad greens like a naked burrito or fajita or do what my partner Pete did and wrap in a burrito wrapper!
