This ‘Actifry Mexican Sausage Dinner’ is the type of meal I cook often when I don’t really fancy cooking. It’s more of a meal inspiration than recipe itself, as it doesn’t take any cooking/measuring really! It’s a simple, mid-week dinner which the whole family can enjoy!
The meal consists of Heck chicken sausages (I use either the paprika ones, or the Italia – I love both!), with diced baby potatoes, onions, peppers and sweetcorns. All coated in a Mexican seasoning of your choice! I tend to use a shop-bought mix when I make this dinner (Morrisons BBQ Fajita) but do sometimes make my own mixture if I have no packets in the house.
Top the dish with spicy mexican cheese and guacamole or avocado for a lean, healthy dinner which is so delicious!
I chose to chop the potatoes small enough that they cook in 15 minutes (the time of the sausages). It’s important not to overcook the heck sausages, as their fat content is super low they can dry out easily. They’re super tasty sausages though and only 95 kcal for two – making them so guilt-free! If you wish to have your potatoes cooked for longer – or you want them bigger – just pop them in 5-10 minutes before the sausages.

You can use either tinned or frozen sweetcorn.

Morning can you do this meal in a Airfryer instead of actifry?
Hi Julie, I’ve never used an Airfryer other than the Actifry – but from what I can see.. I think it’d turn out well in there 🙂
