Steps:

- Spoon one-fourth of the egg mixture onto center of each tortilla; top with vegetables. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over mixture, overlapping. Top each fajita with 2 tablespoons salsa.

Steps:
- To make the fajita mix, take two or three strips from each colour of pepper and finely chop them. Set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining pepper strips and the onion until soft and starting to brown at the edges. Cool slightly and mix in the chopped raw peppers. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then add the spices and stir. Cook for a couple of mins more until the spices become aromatic, then add half the lime juice and season. Transfer to a dish, leaving any juices behind, and keep warm.
- Tip the black beans into the same pan, then add the remaining lime juice and plenty of seasoning. Stir the beans around the pan to warm them through and help them absorb any flavours of the fajita mix, then stir through the coriander.
- Warm the tortillas in a microwave or in a low oven, then wrap them so they don't dry out. Serve the tortillas with the fajita mix, beans, avocado and soured cream for everyone to help themselves.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut fajita veggies or a frozen fajita mix.
- For a more flavorful fajita, marinate the chicken or steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and garlic.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the fajitas in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- To prevent the fajitas from sticking, make sure the pan or grill is hot before adding the food.
- Cook the fajitas in batches, if necessary, to prevent overcrowding the pan or grill.
- Once the fajitas are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve the fajitas with warm tortillas, your favorite toppings, and a squeeze of lime.
