Beef Fajitas

I only post recipes that actually taste and turn out how they are ought to and that I’ve also cooked several times, and this is always a sure-fire winner! I cook it exactly how the recipe says. I am sure it would work equally as well with other meat or even no meat and just add more veggies. Tips below on how to serve to even the pickiest of eaters!

How to serve this meal to your child

Beginner: ‘My child refuses any new meals’

Cook for yourself and reheat leftovers and serve alongside your child’s usual meal the next day or you could offer it as a small starter whilst they are waiting for their meal.  The great thing about this approach is that you are not cooking specifically for your child, you are giving them leftovers from a meal that you would have cooked anyway, so straightaway there is LESS expectation and pressure.  It’s about creating easy opportunities to widen your child’s food list.

Intermediate eater: ‘My child may try this new dish but I’m not sure’

Choose a day when you can eat together.  Offer other components your child usually eats so there is no pressure.  For example, serve tortilla chips with the fajitas, let your child add exactly what they want into the wrap, even if it is just the meat! Make squeezing over the lime a fun activity.  It doesn’t matter if your child doesn’t want every single component, it is all about your child getting used to seeing new food and taking it in and also seeing you eat it to give them confidence for future meals.
