Categories     Main Course

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

Four 8-inch flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 yellow onion, cut in half, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons Fajita Spice Mix, recipe follows, or packaged seasoning mix
4 egg whites, whisked together
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 cup Dominic's Salsa, for serving, recipe follows
Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Fat-free sour cream, for serving, optional
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cornmeal
Freshly ground black pepper
5 to 6 Roma tomatoes, diced
8 to 10 scallions, whites and light green parts, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped almost to a paste
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 to 2 limes
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F; arrange the tortillas in a single layer on an oven rack to warm them.
  • In a small well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few droplets of water into the pan. If they sizzle and evaporate, the skillet is hot enough. Add the bell pepper and onion and saute until soft and fragrant, 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the Spice Mix and continue to saute until fragrant and the vegetables are thoroughly warmed through.
  • Add the egg whites to the skillet. As they begin to solidify, use a rubber spatula to move them around the pan to mix with the vegetables, so that the liquid parts are exposed to the heat. When all is cooked through, season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve straight from the skillet, spooning the fajita mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Serve with Dominic's Salsa or hot sauce (if using), and the sour cream (if using) on the side.
  • Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, salt, cornmeal and some black pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Store in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. The spice mix will keep up to 2 months.
  • Combine the tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and vinegar in a medium serving bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then stir again.

VEGETARIAN FAJITAS



Vegetarian fajitas image

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:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your fajitas the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmers market or organic grocery store.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sear. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Season your vegetables well: Fajitas are a great opportunity to experiment with different seasonings. Try using a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want the vegetables to get too soft, or they will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Use high-quality eggs: The eggs are the star of this dish, so make sure you use the best quality eggs you can find.
  • Cook the eggs to your liking: Some people like their eggs over easy, while others prefer them over hard. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness.
  • Serve the fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served hot off the grill or stovetop. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can keep them warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Vegetable and egg fajitas are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend brunch. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
