Baked Beans Fajita Ingredients
I’ve listed the basic fajita ingredients, but feel free to add in extra vegetables or anything else than needs using up – the good thing about fajitas is they’re really versatile.

- 1 can baked beans
- 1 red onion
- 1 pepper – any colour
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 spring onions
- Handful of salad leaves
- 4 soft flour tortilla wraps (use any you like – white, wholegrain or seeded)
- Handful of grated cheese to serve (optional – skip if you want to keep the fajitas vegan)
How to make Baked Bean Fajitas
- Dice the pepper and onions

- Add the olive oil to a frying pan and gently fry the onions and peppers over a low heat for around 10 minutes until they’re softened.

- Whilst the peppers and onions cook – prepare your toppings – dice the tomato and slice the spring onions. Grate the cheese if you’re adding it.

- After 10 minutes the peppers and onions will be nice and soft.

- Tip in the can of baked beans

- Add the smoked paprika (if you want your fajitas spicy – add a pinch of chilli flakes in here too)

- Mix everything together and continue to cook on the hob for a further 5 minutes or until the baked beans are warmed through.

- Once the beans are heated through – warm the flour wraps as per the packet instructions and then load them up!

- We like our baked bean fajitas with salad, diced tomatoes, grated Cheddar cheese and sliced spring onions.
