Method

  1. Fry the onions and mixed peppers until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the precooked shredded chicken.
  3. Stir in the fajita spice mix and allow to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
  5. Dust a clean work surface with a sprinkling of flour, cut the pastry block in half and reserve one half for later.
  6. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry to a thickness of 5mm.
  7. Place a large plate or circular template on top of the pastry and tear around the edges to create a clean circle. Repeat with the reserved pastry.
  8. Transfer one of pastry circles onto a baking tray and sprinkle with a layer of cheese.
  9. Once cooled, spread the chicken fajita mix evenly on top, leaving a 1cm border around the edge of the pastry.
  10. Cover with the second layer of pastry.
  11. Place an egg cup (or a shot glass) in the centre of the pastry and make 8 to10 even cuts all the way around the pastry.
  12. Brush on some beaten egg.
  13. Twist each segment twice to make it resemble a sun like shape.
  14. Bake for 18-22 minutes in the centre of the oven, until golden brown.
  15. Tear, share, and enjoy!
