Method
Toss the chicken strips in the fajita seasoning until coated.
Heat the oil in a big frying pan until hot. Fry the chicken for about 6 minutes until golden and white all the way through with no pink.
Add the peppers and onions and fry for 5 minutes - they should soften but keep a bit of bite.
Warm the wraps in the microwave for 20 seconds. Put everything in the middle of the table: two wraps each, filled with chicken and veg, chopped tomato and a spoon of yoghurt.
