Spicy Steak Fajitas With Charred Chilli Salsa

In this recipe, you'll be coating your steaks in a spicy chipotle marinade, before searing them to perfection. You'll also make a zingy homemade salsa, with charred chillies, tomatoes and lime. Your wraps are then assembled 'Tex-Mex' style – with onions, peppers and a good dollop of cooling sour cream!
