A simple midweek meal you can rustle up in half an hour. These fajitas are spicy, but you can tone down the heat if you prefer. Remember, once you add the sour cream, it makes it less hot.

Tips

You can vary the fillings as you please. Chopped tomatoes with coriander (cilantro) and chopped spring onions (scallions) work well.
Instead of sour cream, you could use mayonnaise.
