This evening, I’ve got a really exciting new recipe to share- and a giveaway! I’ve finally got my hands on an Old El Paso’s Gluten Free Fajita kit! After looking on Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsburys (where it was all sold out), I finally managed to track it down in Tesco’s today. And what better way to celebrate being snowed-in than with a huge plate of fajitas. Stay tuned to the end of the post to see how you can win your own month’s supply of gluten-free fajitas!
So what do you get in the kit?
–8 Gluten Free Tortillas (these are bigger than the corn ones you can get in Sainsbury’s which is amazing as you feel as if it can properly hold a filling!)
-1 gluten-free (and dairy-free) salsa
-1 gluten-free (and dairy-free) smoky BBQ mild.
The Recipe
As I’m not much of a pepper girl, I decided to try my fajitas with courgettes, onions and avocado instead. I used stir-fry turkey strips and 1/2 of the gluten-free spice mix. Why only half? Well, a few of my fellow bloggers had told me the kit was actually quite spicy (despite its mild label) so using 1/2 gave it the perfect kick without me needing to rush for a glass of water!
Next time, I’m planning on experimenting with using the whole of the mix but mixing with some soy yoghurt instead. I served my fajitas with some homemade sweet potato wedges.
The kit really is incredibly easy to use; simply stir-fry the turkey and veg for five minutes or so; pop the wraps in the microwave for 15 seconds and then bring it all together for the perfect dinner; with leftovers to spare the next day.
Whilst we’re on the subjects of wraps- I really enjoyed these! The photo makes them look a little smaller than they actually are: they’re definitely bigger than the corn taco wraps (that you can currently buy in Sainsbury’s) and they’re also really sturdy too- they held plenty of filling without falling apart. The texture of them was incredibly like regular flour tortillas too. These are a mix of quinoa, corn and tapioca flour-a welcome change from the usual rice flours. Unlike many gluten-free bread alternatives, they don’t use egg either.
I really enjoyed making these fajitas. Personally, I could only manage two (with a side dish of wedges) so I have saved plenty for tomorrows lunch too. The kit is definitely big enough for dinner for four.
Pin the recipe…

This is a collaborative post with Old El Paso
I’m really excited about these, we’ve eaten these for a while now but always had to source a gluten free tortilla for Beth, I’ve also made my own (which personally I love the taste of) but to a 13yr old it’s a bit crappy being obviously different so this new kit will mean yet another family favourite meal we can all enjoy and no one needs to feel excluded or different…well done Old El Paso.
Courgettes, onion and avocado are three of my favourite things! It’s such a great idea to swap peppers for courgettes. A few of my friends can’t go near peppers (it’s a digestion thing I think) so I’ve never considered making fajitas for them, but with your recipe, it would be perfect!! Pinning it now so I don’t forget 🙂 xx
I would be excited to receive one as we have a themed dinner every saturday with movie night, indian, chinese, mexican, italian etc, it woulld be great for mexican night
Would be lovely to try something different for a change; I wouldn’t think to make fajitas.
I too have been searching for these, would love to win some to try them out!
They’re a quick easy dinner to rustle up and a family pleaser!
I love Mexican fooc
my kids love fajitas
The kit is so tasty isn’t it! Love the idea of experimenting with different veg! We tried it with the traditional peppers and onions and it was really good but definitely like the tip about not using all of the sachet!!
I am so excited about these because my son struggles with Celiac so much. He says nothing tastes as good. These look so good and I am hopeful that we would all enjoy them and help my son a little more as he continues on his celiac journey.
Something different for tea and no bloating afterwards
I’m really excited to win these for my daughter, she’s tried other wraps in the past & she’s always said that their bland & tasteless, so it would be great for me to make these for knowing that all the ingredients is free from gluten 🙂
Im excited to try these as we love mexican food but struggle when invitibg my mum for mexican night as shes is GF. This would mean she could join in all the fun
Oooh my other half is relatively newly diagnosed so he is still learning but he will be excited to discover these!
For a quick and easy meal for when my son gets home from work

I love Mexican food.
It’s been ages since I had fajitas – This would be a real treat!
I have never had this before and I am really interested in trying out different foods. It also sounds and looks delicious!
I would love to try making this for my brother he can only eat gluten free so this would be perfect.
I love fajitas. My daughter us gluten free so we dont eat them but I am excited to try these and see what she thinks
I would love to try these. I am Coeliac and have followed an extremely strict gluten free diet for most of my life. I would cook them for my husband and son. I try to cook most meals gluten free so that we can all sit down, enjoy a meal together and discuss our day
Grandad is a celiac. It will be fun to try these boxes when he comes over for weekly dinner.
My youngest daughter has just started cooking. She loves these kits and is very proud of herself when she makes me dinner. They are great with simple instructions and everything you need to make a delicious meal
i love this idea as the gluten free wraps arent very nice so these would be lovely
love using Old El Passo gluten-free fajita = perfect taste
My kids love fajitas so these would be a great Friday night treat!
To make a lovely taste filled dinner for my family and friends, perfect el paso night!
My family and I absolutely love Fajita’s so this box would be wonderful, what a treat.
Perfect for my friend who’s Gluten free x
It would be great to make fajitas that everyone can eat
Myself and my sister are gluten intolerant , I would love to serve her these for dinner next time she visits
I love fajitas
I really enjoy Indian food, especially the starters.
Gluten free tortillas – superb
Because I don’t have fajitas very often so will be a good treat
I love fajitas!
my mum is wheat and dairy free, my stepmum is coeliac and my partner is dairy free, so this would be nice to be able to give them something different to eat
I like to eat different foods and it would be good to start introducing my children to some Mexican food!
I am excited as I love trying anything new and I am currently studying a holiday catalogue for Mexico!
It must be serendipity that I stumbled across your blog today while looking for free from recipes.
Would love to try this
I love any Mexican food
I love fajitas . I like the fact i can add anything else i want. MORE CHEESE
really excited by this GF tortillas as so hard to find
I would love to try these because my son could eat them
Would love this as I always struggle with what to cook for my cousin when she visits…this would be perfect.
I used to love fajitas before being diagnosed with ceoliac, I can’t wait to give them a try!
A quick and easy tea, what’s not to love!
We love Mexican food
These look amazing. I’d live the chance to try some. I’ve only got little local stores near me and they have a very limited range so not been able to find these. I hope they introduce a pack of the tortillas on their own too.
These look amazing! Not seen them before and would definitely make our family Mexican night a lot more enjoyable for me
Id be excited because I just love free food haha I am so excited to be back at uni but student loans don’t pay an awful lot!
My best friend was diagnosed coeliac a couple of years ago and we love getting together with the kids for dinner so this would be perfect for us all to engoy
They sound yummy and it’s good to know El passo are introducing gluten free kits!!
Love fajitas but I don’t make them often if I won I would make the effort
This would be perfect for sharing with my friend
I am excited to be able to offer my husband the chance to try gluten-free fajitas as he is coeliac.
never tried making mexican food—and this would be a good way to start
Really excited to win a box as these look really promising. My family love fajitas but since my Dad was diagnosed as a coeliac we’ve attempted a few brands of the wraps and they’re not that great at all. Old el paso is such a good make too so don’t feel we’re missing out at all with this kit. Not all supermarkets do the corn wraps either or when they do they’re missed with gluten which is frustrating. These look really tasty too!
never tried them before, they look nice x
I love faita’s and I would love to try the gluten free recipee
I love fajitas but gluten and I seem to have fallen out recently!
They look really tasty and i would love to give them a try
Love to try and compare to the regular
would love to get my hands on this box as this is all new to me ive no idea were to start its a big change to my diet / lifestyle
I don’t have fajitas often, so it would be great to eat them more regularly.
Love that gluten free seasonings have been produced, great for my coeliac friend but with so much less hassle
I simply love fajitas
I love fajitas so it would be great to try a gluten free option – always on the lookout for new products like this 🙂
I am so excited as i do miss having a boxed set rather than having to get all of the gluten free bits separate (if the store has them). Before diagnosis all those years ago it used to be one of our favourite meals so cant wait to introduce it back into our meal options!
Ooh my answer is simple…i just love fajitas! I’ve missed them.since becoming gluten free. Thanks for the chance
Such an amazing prize that I would love to win
Because it’s been ages since I’ve had fajitas and this has now given me the biggest craving!
As my partner is a coeliac, I’d love to try these for the whole family x
They look delicious.
These look lovely with courgettes in. I would like to win so I can try your fajitas for myself! Thanks!
We love fajitas and I suffer from IBS so we are trying out different diets to see if any help me, would love to try a gluten free option.
We love Fajitas & also love eating Gluten free in our house so would love to get my hands on a months supply!
I love that they are gluten free!! I’d love to get my hands on a box or two x x x
Would be nice to try these for taste and also see if helps with my daughter’s bloating. my family like fajitas
This would be amazing to win as I have ibs and gluten makes it worse and I love fajitas ❤
Love fajitas but cant have them because of my intolerance these would be a gift from heaven
I haven’t been able to eat fajitas in forever. These would be great x
Would be lovely to have something my daughter could share with the rest of us
We have recently gone gluten free and haven’t had fajitas in ages – this would be a real treat 🙂
these look yummy and it would be a nice treat
My husband has gone gluten and dairy free for health reasons, and I have joined him to make eating and shopping easier. This is one meal we miss as a family. So would be great to be able to have Fajita Friday every Friday for a month.
This has inspired me to have fajitas, haven’t had them in so long! They’re so quick and easy to make.
Do you find the wraps are dry? Would love to finally find a good gf tortilla!
I always loved old El Paso when I was a child but then I developed a gluten intolerance, nothing tasted the same so I’m excited to try these
I’d love to win as I’m gluten free and didn’t know they did a tasty alternative thanks for the chance
Hi, Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe with us.
Can I use some corn in this recipe? Will the corn add gluten to it?
