Ingredients

Try making some funky fajita creatures to help you get your 5 A DAY.

To make enough fajitas for 3-4 people you need:

• 1 onion

• 1 clove of garlic (crushed)

• 1 red pepper

• 1 green pepper

• 3-4 mushrooms

• beansprouts

• dried oregano

• 4 tortillas

• lettuce (optional)

• sour cream (optional)

• salsa (optional)

Remember you'll need an adult to help you.

Equipment

You will also need to get together these kitchen tools. Make sure you have an adult with you to help you find and use them.

• small sharp knife

• chopping board

• garlic crusher

• frying pan

• wooden spoon

• plates

• oven

Remember to wash your hands before you begin.

Step 1

Ask an adult to help you chop the vegetables on a chopping board.

Step 2

With an adult, put a drop of oil into a frying pan.

Fry the onions on a low heat until they are golden.

Add some crushed garlic.

Step 3

Now add the chopped peppers and plenty of oregano.

Stir them as they cook.

You could add some other chopped vegetables too now if you like...

Step 4

When the peppers are a bit softer, add the mushrooms to the mixture.

Mushrooms need less time to cook than the other vegetables.

Step 5

Whilst the mixture cooks, ask an adult to help you warm the tortillas in the oven.

They don't need to be in the oven for long – 5 minutes should be enough to warm them nicely.

Step 6

When the tortillas are ready spoon the mixture onto them, making a line or strip down the middle.

Add some crunchy bean sprouts.

Step 7

Now fold the tortillas and add some mushroom and pepper eyes.

Your fajita will begin to look like a crawling caterpillar!

See which other creatures you can make.

Step 8

Serve your fajita creature on a bed of lettuce, with some salsa and sour cream.

Why not add some herbs to make them even tastier?

Gobble them up before they scuttle away!
