Quick and Easy Vegan Fajitas

What's for dinner? It's Thursday almost the end of the week! I am usually zapped by the evening and cooking isn't really something I would truly like to do. This recipe is one of my ultimate go tos...simple, quick, full of flavor, packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and does not require any pre planning of meat.

Serves: 4 (Great for lunch the next day!)

Time: 20-30mins

Ingredients:
  • 1 sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 sliced green bell pepper
  • 1 1/2 c chopped mushrooms
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 1/2 c lentils (I recommend the Trader Joe's pre-cooked)
  • 1 can black beans (I recommend the Trader Joe's Cajun/Cuban style black beans)
  • 2 tbsp grape seed oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1-2 tsp red chili powder
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried cilantro
  • 1/2 c salsa
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 Ezekiel, brown rice, or whole grain tortillas

Directions:
  1. Heat garlic, grape seed oil, and shallots on medium high for 3-5 minutes until shallots have cooked down.
  2. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms, cook for 5-10 minutes until veggies have cooked down a bit.
  3. Add the black beans, lentils, red chili pepper, cilantro, and salsa. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
  4. Load up tortilla top with salsa, avocado, cilantro &/or hot sauce.
  5. Enjoy!
