Vegetarian Fajitas

Posted by admin on Saturday, March 7, 2009

Success! I've been having kind of a slow go at creative cooking lately. You probably know the slump I'm talking about. Maybe I'm getting a little too brave, I don't know. Anyway, here's one for the books. I made these tonight because we had the ingredients in our fridge that I wanted to use up. They were amazing and I'm definitely going to make them again. Hope you enjoy!

*Serves 4-6

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 medium bell peppers, sliced (different colors are fun!)
1 med. onion, sliced
1-1/2 - 2 Cups pinto or other beans, cooked (or use a can if you're lazy :)
1/2 C. water
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. dehydrated minced onion
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. red pepper (optional)

flour tortillas

Toppings: Chopped tomatoes, grated cheese, sliced olives, diced avocados or prepared guacamole, sour cream, chopped lettuce, etc.

DIRECTIONS:
Sauté bell peppers and onion in oil until just barely tender. Then add beans, water, sugar, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, cumin and red pepper. Stir together and heat just until warmed through. Served on warmed flour tortillas (here's my favorite homemade whole-wheat ones) with chopped tomatoes, grated cheese, sliced olives, diced avocados or prepared guacamole, sour cream, chopped lettuce or whatever else suits your fancy.
