  • cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 bell peppers, mixed colors of your choice

Instructions

  • Fry the onion and chicken in a little oil until the onions are translucent and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the fajita spice mix, salsa, cheese, and lime juice.
  • Cook and stir until the cheese has melted and everything is combined.
  • Slice the peppers into thick rings, remove all seeds, and place onto a tray lined with baking paper.
  • Spoon the mixture into each pepper ring and freeze until set, approx 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Dip the frozen pepper rings (which should now hold their shape) into the eggs and then the crushed taco shells.
