Fajita, chicken, meat only, takeaway and restaurant

This chicken fajita filling from takeaways and restaurants consists of chicken, onions and peppers, without the tortilla or other accompaniments. It mainly provides protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 17g of protein, 6.3g of fat, including 2.1g of saturated fat, and 0.84g of salt. The figures describe the filling rather than a complete fajita meal.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt and saturated fat content may be relevant for people monitoring their intake. Tortillas, sauces and other accompaniments will add to the overall nutrient content of a meal, and recipes can vary between establishments. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
