FOR THE LOW PROTEIN WRAP STRIPS

3 Pour the thickened mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients and knead into a dough.

4 Dust a clean worktop surface with low protein allpurpose mix; divide the dough into four equal parts.

5 Roll each dough ball out (into approximately 6 inch diameter circles) using a rolling pin.

6 Cut into 1/2 inch wide strips and set aside.

FOR THE FAJITA SALAD

1 Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add onions, peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, and jackfruit. Sauté for 5 minutes.

2 Add cilantro, 1 Tbsp of fajita mix, tomato purée, and lemons; sauté for 10–15 minutes or until soft.
