A secretly healthy meal that still feels like a treat - all the family with love it.
Rosemary Conley's pork fajitas are so quick and easy to make - you can have them ready and on the table in just 20 minutes. Using really lean cuts of succulent pork fillets, fast fried with peppers and onions, a portion comes in at under 300 calories. This recipes serves 4 - one fajita per person. You might find people with bigger appetites can manage two though, in which case, just multiply all the ingredients. If you're serving up to the family, we recommend letting everyone make up their own fajitas. Serve low fat yoghurt, chopped herbs and salad in separate bowls, so people can add as much or as little as they like.
