Veggie
Fajitas- 4 flour tortillas - 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper,
1 small onion, all chopped - 2 tbsp olive oil - 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
(optional) - chopped lettuce, tomatoes - 1/2 cup grated cheese - sour
cream, guacamole, salsa
Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in a
250F oven to warm while you are preparing the other ingredients. Over medium
high heat, "stir fry" the chopped peppers and onion in the olive oil, until
they are softened. Remove from the heat and add the balsamic vinegar, if
desired. Serve immediately and let each person assemble his/her own fajita with
the cooked vegetables, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese, with the other condiments
on the side. You can keep the second round of fajitas and the cooked vegetables
in the oven to stay warm. To make the dish vegan, use soy cheese and vegan sour
cream, or just omit them - the dish is still delicious. Serves 2.
Guacamole- 1
ripe avocado (to ripen, place in a paper bag with a banana at room temperature
for a couple of days - a ripe avocado should feel soft when squeezed) - 1
shallot, chopped - 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped - 2 tbsp
finely chopped red onion - 2 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley - 1 tbsp
lime juice - salt and pepper to taste
Cut the avocado in half, remove
the pit and scoop out the flesh and mash in a bowl. Add the other ingredients
and mix well. It will keep in the refrigerator (covered) for at least one day,
and actually freezes well also. |
