Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 sweet peppers, sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 ½ cups Heinz® Chili Sauce, Chunky with Sweet Peppers
- 2 tablespoons Heinz Tomato Ketchup
- 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded old Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- ⅔ cup low-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Heat half the oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers and half of the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until tender. Reserve.
- Add remaining oil to pan. Crumble in turkey, add garlic, chili powder and remaining salt and pepper. Saute until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in half the chili sauce and all of the ketchup. Bring to a simmer.
- Serve meat and vegetable mixtures with tortillas and bowls of remaining chili sauce, cheese, lettuce and sour cream to make your own fajitas.
- Twist 1: For meat variations, use ground chicken or lean ground beef instead of the turkey.
- Twist 2: For a leftover solution, use leftover cooked chicken or beef for the ground turkey.
- Twist 3: For warm restaurant-style tortillas, wrap the tortillas first in a clean damp tea towel, then in foil and warm in a 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) oven for about 5 minutes.
- Twist 4: For spicier fajitas, use hot pepper sauce to taste.

Easy and delicious!
Not exactly like fajitas, more like a mix of fajitas and soft tacos. I did add a little more spices than what was called for (cumin, coriander, onion powder, garlic powder) but other than that, I did my best to stick to the recipe. This was enough to feed four (two grownups, two kids) when paired with mexican rice and refried beans. NO leftovers.
I liked it was easy to make and it turned out delicious. I didn’t include the chili powder but the end result was yummy.
Tasty
Took a chance and made this. It turned out great!
Was not sure since it was new and not that popular. However once we took a bite I was well satisfied. I ended up mixing the pepper and onion mixture in with the sauce and meat to simmer for 5 minutes and then served. This one is on my list. Thanks Heinz!
Rally delicious – and easy!
