Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 flour tortillas
2 green bell peppers, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium-sized yellow or red onion, sliced
1 Tablespoon oil
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp (each) garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper
pinch of cayenne ((adjust for more spice))
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ripe avocados
1 lime
salt to taste
1 14 oz. can black beans (you can do with the juices or rinse and drain them and add several tablespoons of water)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Roast peppers & onions: arrange sliced peppers and onions on sheet pan, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Toss until veggies are evenly coated, then spread out on the pan and bake for 20 minutes - flip halfway through.
  • Cook black beans: in a sauce pan, simmer black beans on LOW with salt and garlic powder for 8-10 minutes. Black beans should thicken and liquid should slightly reduce.
  • Guacamole: In a small bowl use a fork to smash the avocado, then stir in garlic powder, lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Warm up tortillas: wrap tortillas in a foil packet and pop in oven for 5 minutes, or microwave tortillas on glass plate for 15 seconds. If you have a grill, you can also grill the tortillas for 10-15 seconds on each side.
  • Assemble: When peppers & onions are finished, assemble fajitas: roasted peppers & onions, black beans, guacamole, and extra lime juice! Serve with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

VEGETARIAN FAJITAS

Looking for a quick and easy veggie family meal? Try these meat-free fajitas, loaded with black beans, avocado and peppers, which take just 15 minutes to make

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

400g can black beans, drained
small bunch coriander, finely chopped
4 large or 8-12 small flour tortillas
1 avocado, sliced, or 1 small tub guacamole
2 tbsp soured cream
1 red and 1 yellow pepper, cut into strips
1 tbsp oil
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • To make the fajita mix, take two or three strips from each colour of pepper and finely chop them. Set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining pepper strips and the onion until soft and starting to brown at the edges. Cool slightly and mix in the chopped raw peppers. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then add the spices and stir. Cook for a couple of mins more until the spices become aromatic, then add half the lime juice and season. Transfer to a dish, leaving any juices behind, and keep warm.
  • Tip the black beans into the same pan, then add the remaining lime juice and plenty of seasoning. Stir the beans around the pan to warm them through and help them absorb any flavours of the fajita mix, then stir through the coriander.
  • Warm the tortillas in a microwave or in a low oven, then wrap them so they don't dry out. Serve the tortillas with the fajita mix, beans, avocado and soured cream for everyone to help themselves.

Tips:

  • Use colorful vegetables: A variety of colors not only makes your fajitas more visually appealing, it also ensures that you're getting a wide range of nutrients. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, squash, and tomatoes.
  • Slice the vegetables thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and spices will help them develop more flavor.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat: This will help them get slightly charred and smoky, which adds to their flavor.
  • Serve the fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served fresh and hot, so make sure to have all of your toppings and sides ready before you start cooking.

Conclusion:

Colorful vegetable fajitas are a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, or for a festive party dish.
