What to serve with fajitas

OLD El Paso is hoping to introduce consumers to new flavours and tastes of Mexican street food with the launch of a new fajita kit.

If you've decided to use tortilla wraps as your fajita wraps we've listed some different syn values of these wraps below according to the brand that you choose. Lettuce - Lettuce boats can also hold your fajita mix and eliminate the syns and carbs from your fajitas. Jose Alves, senior brand manager for Old El Paso UK, said: “Our Fajita Melt kits bring a totally new, trendy flavour experience to Mexican food. The cheese sauce introduces a different texture, plus the crunch from toasting the tortilla really triggers that street food feeling that consumers love! Sweet potato wraps - You can now find wraps made out of sweet potato rather than flour, these are lower in calories but can still act as a fajita wrap.

Fajitas are typically made with tortilla flour wraps, but there is no reason as to why you can't save some syns by trying out some of these alternatives as wraps below.

Corn wraps - Corn wraps are much lower in calories than flour tortillas and essentially act the same when making fajitas. You should also factor in if you add cheese, sour cream, guacamole and other extras in your wrap as these will also raise the syns. Tacos - Tacos only have 3 syns per shell, so are much more syn friendly, there are no rules as to why you can't put your fajita mix in tacos!

Ingredients

Since the average tortilla wrap has 8.5 syns, you could enjoy up to two of them before going over your daily syn allowance by one syn.
