For a weeknight meal, it doesn't get easier than this one! It may be easy, but has a ton of flavor! You can add any vegetable you like to this dish. Today I used green and red peppers, onions, jalapeños, cauliflower, beans, avocado, cheese, and brown rice. The longest part is waiting for the brown rice to cook! This is definitely a go to week night dinner for our busy family. Enjoy!
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time 15 minutes
Ingredients:
-1 green pepper (sliced)
-1 red pepper (sliced)
-2 jalapeños (sliced)
-1/2 head of cauliflower (chopped small)
-1 onion (sliced)
-Black beans
-Brown rice
-Avocado (sliced)
-Whole wheat tortilla wraps
-Hot sauce
-Shredded Mexican cheese
-2 to 3 Tablespoons olive oil
-1/2 teaspoon paprika
-1/2 teaspoon chili powder
-1/4 teaspoon cumin
-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-1/8 teaspoon pepper
-1/8 teaspoon salt
Next Step:
-Cook your brown rice.
-Slice and chop all of your vegetables, the peppers, cauliflower, and onion. (Cut the cauliflower into very small pieces so they cook at the same rate as the rest.
-In a small bowl mix all of your spices in the olive oil.
-Heat up your skillet and pour your vegetables in. Then immediately pour the seasoned olive oil all over.
-On low-med heat, cook your vegetables.
-I like a crunchier vegetable, so I cook them for 5-7 minutes. Adjust the time to your preference.
-Constantly toss them with your tongs.
-Meanwhile, heat up your black beans.
-When your vegetables and rice are done, build your fajita! In a tortilla add the rice, veggies, beans, avocado, and cheese. I like to heat up my whole fajita in a panini press for a few minutes to crisp up the outside of the fajita and so the cheese melts. If you don't have a panini press, you can do this step in a pan on the stove top.
-Remember to add hot sauce!
-ENJOY!!!
