Equipment

  • our Cast-iron Skillet by UnoCasa
  • Microwave tortilla warmer
  • Metal taco holder
  • Wooden board from Forest Decor

Ingredients

Fillings

  • 6 servings Fajita veggies
  • 6 oz Black beans

Toppings

Instructions

Making the filling

  • Rinse black beans if you use canned. Cook dry ones.
  • To make fajita veggies peel and slice onion 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide and wash and slice bell peppers also 1/4-inch (4-5 mm) wide. Here is a step by step guide.
  • Preheat skillet on medium heat and add oil.
  • Add veggies and season them with half of the homemade fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix them with tongs.
  • Fry them on high heat for 10-15 minutes.

Assemble your fajitas

  • Take a soft tortilla. (Most of the store-bought brands are vegan)
  • Place 1-2 Tbsp of black beans, bell pepper, and onion slices in the middle of the tortilla.
  • Then scoop some guacamole, salsa, black beans, and sour cream on top. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut veggies into equal strips. This is to make sure the vegetables are ready at the same time.
  • Hot and sweet together? – If you prepare the veggies for kids or people who don’t like spicy food, roast hot chili peppers separate from all other veggies. If you fry hot chili peppers and bell peppers together, the juices of the hot chili peppers may make the sweet bell peppers also spicy and hot.
  • Other ways to make fajitas veggies. After preparing and cutting your veggies, you can use other ways to get them ready like 1) Roast them in the oven, 2) fry them on grill pan or griddle or 3) Grill them in aluminum foil drip pans on your BBQ.
