Preparing the New Potato Fajita Wraps

Step 1: Boil the Potatoes

Begin by washing and boiling the new potatoes until soft. This process typically takes about 15-20 minutes. Once tender, drain them and let them cool before cutting them into chunky slices

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and peppers. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Add the Fajita Seasoning

Once the vegetables are ready, mix in the boiled potatoes and sweetcorn along with the fajita seasoning. Stir until everything is evenly coated. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavours to blend nicely.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Take a soft tortilla wrap and spoon a generous amount of sour cream & chives down the centre of the wrap. Add a nice portion of the potato-vegetable mixture on top. Add a sprinkle of grated cheese and coriander on top. Finally, roll the wrap tightly, and it's ready to relish.
