Veggie Fajitas with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream Sauce
This is actually a simple, tasty meal that is fun and requires only a little bit of effort.
For the fajita filling
1 large or 2 medium onions
3 red and/or yellow bell peppers (no green-these are just unripe red bells)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
Sea salt, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
To prepare, heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil to the pan. Add all ingredients. Stir to sauté for just a few minutes. You want the veggies to still have a crunch to them, not to be soggy and limp. Transfer to a serving platter.
For the Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
1 cup sour cream
Juice from 1 lime (2 if not very juicy)
1/2 cup cilantro, stems and leaves, chopped
Mix well and set aside.
1 pkg. large flour tortillas
Fresh Salsa or chopped tomato
Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
Guacamole
For assembly
Warm the tortillas slightly, if desired.
Place everything out in separate bowls and let everyone make their own fajitas with desired toppings.
