This weeks recipe (although somewhat late) was an interesting one, for sure. Erin came up with the idea for veggie fajitas. I was all "what?? fajitas without meat?!? insane!!!" Never the less, we opted to make this dinner, sans recipe.
If you wish to recreate this dinner, here is what you will need. Oh, by the way, this picture is stolen from google, as I failed to take a picture of dinner last night.
Ingredients:
1 zucchini, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 green bell pepper, 1 large package mushrooms, 1 large white onion, 2/3 head broccoli; tortillas; cheddar cheese; salsa; sour cream; fajita flavor packet; 2tbsp olive oil.
In a nutshell, here is what I did. In a large skillet, add all veggies and olive oil - saute for about 5 minutes, remove from heat and let steam (for the sake of the broccoli) for about 2 more minutes. Add a packet of fajita mix (you can skip this step, or substitute chili powder and lime juice) and saute for another 3 minutes.
Then make your fajitas just as you would, with you tortillas and toppings.
I added a side of spanish rice (Zatterains), which I always enjoy.
Erin seemed to really enjoy them. She stated several times that she liked them, and ate two whole tacos. I enjoyed them, but I would have preferred to skip the fajita mix, and just had the veggies. Caution on the broccoli...if you cook it too long, it reduces and it less appealing (I adjusted the above numbers, but you may have to play with it some). All it really changes is the look, mushier broccoli still tastes like broccoli. All in all, a very good meal, and one we will be making again!
