Low Protein ‘Chicken’ Fajitas – with Homemade Tortilla Wraps

Low Protein “Chicken” Fajitas

Low Protein Chicken Fajitas with homemade tortilla wraps are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy a classic favourite while staying within dietary needs. This recipe brings together vibrant flavours, colourful ingredients, and comforting textures to create a meal that feels both wholesome and indulgent. Perfect for lunch or dinner, these fajitas are a great option for anyone following a low protein diet who still wants to enjoy bold, familiar tastes without compromise.

At the heart of this dish is the low protein ‘chicken’ alternative, which provides a savoury base that soaks up all the rich, smoky flavours of the seasoning. Cooked with a blend of spices such as paprika, cumin, and a touch of garlic, the filling develops a warm, slightly smoky aroma that’s instantly recognisable and incredibly appetising. When combined with sliced peppers and onions, the mixture becomes even more flavourful, with a balance of sweetness, gentle heat, and a satisfying, slightly caramelised finish.

What makes this recipe especially rewarding is the addition of homemade low protein tortilla wraps. Soft, warm, and freshly made, these wraps elevate the entire dish. They have a delicate texture and mild flavour that perfectly complements the bold fajita filling, allowing every ingredient to shine. Making your own wraps at home also gives you full control over the ingredients and texture, ensuring they suit your preferences perfectly—whether you like them slightly thicker and fluffy or thin and pliable for easy folding.

As you assemble your fajitas, the combination of textures really comes to life. The tender ‘chicken’ pieces, the slight crunch of the sautéed vegetables, and the softness of the wraps create a balanced and enjoyable eating experience. You can keep things simple or customise your fajitas with additional toppings to suit your taste. Fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, or a squeeze of lime can add brightness, while a low protein sauce or dairy-free alternative can bring a creamy element that ties everything together.

These fajitas are not only full of flavour but also incredibly versatile. They’re perfect for sharing, making them a great choice for family meals or casual gatherings. You can serve everything in the centre of the table and let everyone build their own wraps, adding as much or as little filling as they like. This interactive style of eating makes the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable, while also allowing for individual preferences.

Another benefit of this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can easily adjust the level of spice, swap in different vegetables, or experiment with seasoning blends to create new variations. It’s also a great way to make use of ingredients you already have in your kitchen, keeping things simple and practical without sacrificing taste.

Overall, Low Protein Chicken Fajitas with homemade tortilla wraps offer a perfect balance of comfort and creativity. With their rich, smoky flavours, soft wraps, and colourful presentation, they bring a sense of enjoyment and variety to low protein cooking—proving that dietary restrictions don’t mean missing out on delicious, satisfying meals.

Ingredients

 ½  Sliced Red Pepper

½  Sliced Yellow Pepper

½  Sliced Green Pepper

1 Sliced Small Red Onion

1 Small Carrot (shaved with a peeler)

62g Promin Low Protein Burger Mix Chicken Flavour

2 teaspoon of Fajita Seasoning Mix

1 teaspoon Garlic Puree

1 teaspoon of Sugar

200g Promin Low Protein All Purpose Baking Mix

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

2 teaspoons of Rapeseed (Canola) Oil

100ml of Warm Water

Method

1. Make up 1 sachet of the chicken flavour burger mix, adding 1 teaspoon of fajita seasoning and 100ml of water and allow to set. Once set, mould the mixture into bite size chunks and begin to fry off in oil over a medium heat, turning occasionally.
2. When these pieces are cooked, turn to a medium heat and begin to add the vegetables. Cooking the vegetables slowly will help them retain their bite.
3. Stir in the sugar, garlic puree and the fajita seasoning at this stage and allow to marinade, and cook together slowly.
4. Weigh out the all purpose baking mix and the baking powder and in a separate jug, whisk together the oil and the water. Make a well in the flour and stir in slowly to create a dough texture which is easy to roll out.
5. Using a rolling pin try and get the wraps as thin as possible and cook on a medium heat in a dry frying pan for 30-60 seconds each side.
6. Once cooked allow to cool slightly before adding a spoonful of fajita mix and roll using a tuck method, to ensure the wraps stay sealed.
7. Serve as a meal, with sweet potato fries and a crisp salad, or as a lunch option!
