Method
- For the corn salsa, drain and rinse the sweetcorn. Mix in a bowl with the red onion, chopped coriander, chillies and lime juice. Season and set aside.
- For the fajitas, heat a large frying pan with the olive oil, then fry the onions and red peppers over a high heat until soft and browning at the edges. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and the garlic cloves, adding more oil if it looks dry – take care not to burn the spices.
- Shred the cooked chicken (ideally from a whole roast bird), toss through the onion mix, then season. Heat through, then serve with warm tortillas, soured cream, grated cheddar and the corn salsa.
