2 jalapenos

Fajitas

Again, Laura did all the slaving. All I did was slice some peppers and grill the "chicken" and avocado.

Fajita Ingredients

1 red pepper, sliced

1 yellow pepper, sliced

1 Ancho pepper, slivered

2 onions, sliced

3 vegetarian chicken breasts, grilled

4 cloves minced garlic

Cumin

Paprika

Smoked paprika

Onion powder

1/2 lime (juice)

3 - 4 tbsp water

2 tsp corn starch

Ancho pepper

Fajita Directions

Grill the veggies until slightly soft, then sprinkle cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, regular paprika and onion powder on top and mix in with juice of half a lime, the water and corn starch and simmer until right consistency, then stir in 4 cloves minced garlic.

Grill the "chicken" breasts and slice them. Add to the veggie mixture. Serve on Laura's homemade tortillas. If you can't find Laura's homemade tortillas, settle for some store-bought ones or get Laura's recipe. It's worth it.
