Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/425°F/gas mark 7.

Remove all the meat from the rotisserie chicken and shred, then place in a shallow roasting tray. Add the red pepper, jalapeños, onion, oil, tomato purée and fajita seasoning. Toss together to coat everything in the fajita seasoning.

Pour over the salsa, then sprinkle on the cheese. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the red onion, coriander and more jalapeños. Serve with tortilla crisps.
