Was ok. I'm learning that all quorn needs to marinate so much longer to hold onto the spices. So that's my advice to me & everyone else. I found this one needed more of a kick.
Response from Quorn
Thanks for the feedback, you know how to bring the flavours even more now!

A tasty dish, but doesn't look like the photo, now the milk has been removed. The sauce is much less creamy (obviously) than in other fajita recipes. I added quark, when I had put it into serving bowls, and this improved the taste and consistency. The quark also increased the protein level.
Response from Quorn
We're glad you found the dish tasty and found an alternative to milk. Keep it up.

This is really tasty, easy to make and quite filling. I didn’t add as much spice as I don’t really tolerate spicy food but it was still great!
Response from Quorn
Sounds like you nailed the "flavourful but gentle" version - spice level: cosy hug instead fiery dragon!
Super Yummy!

Very easy, very tasty. Quick. Will make again. Would also fill a wrap nicely with some sour cream/salad. Not sure about the milk comments - I assume the recipe has changed???
Response from Quorn
Hi Sue, yes it has! We adapted the recipe after reading feedback from consumers :) Glad you enjoyed it!
