    I was challenged to create this recipe by Primula, producers of easy squeezy cheese that's perfect for adding to all sorts of recipes. I was sent a selection of products to try and decided that the cheese with chives was the perfect partner for these yummy festive fajitas. I'm loving the new cute Christmas packaging too, keep your eyes peeled for them in the supermarkets now!

    Heat the remaining vegetable oil to a medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the marinated turkey strips and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until starting to brown. Add the onion and peppers to the pan and continue to stir-fry until the turkey and vegetables are cooked through.

    Heat the tortilla wraps according to pack instructions.

    Squeeze a swirl of Primula cheese with chives over each tortilla wrap then spread it over the wrap with a knife.

    Place a small handful of spinach leaves in the centre of each wrap. Top with a large spoonful of the cooked turkey, onion and peppers.

    Keeping the fillings in the middle of each wrap, roll up firmly and place edge side down.

    Tie up the ends of each wrap so that they resemble Christmas crackers. Decorate each Christmas cracker wrap with a star cut from red pepper.

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

      What a fab idea. I’ve never thought of using squeezy cheese like this. It’s only ever gone on nachos.

      Thanks!
