Vegitarian Fajitas
1 small sweet potato (cut into match sticks)
1 small zucchini ( cut into match sticks)
1 large onion (cut into strips)
1/2 cup bell peppers (cut into strips)
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1/2 the juice of a lime
Oil for frying veggies
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Heat oil in a pan, cook sweet potato first because it will take the longest to cook. After a about 4 minutes add the onions and bell peppers. Cook for 2 minutes then add the cilantro, garlic, and zucchini. While the zucchini finishes cooking mix all the spiced together in a bowl then sprinkle over the veggies. Once all the veggies are cooked to tender but not mushy squeeze 1/2 a lime over the veggie mix. stir to combine all the flavors.
My husband was not looking forward to fajitas that didn't have steak or chicken, but he loved them . He even said he wanted to make them again and here the kicker "I wouldn't change a thing!"
We only ate half of the mixture and were quite full. I would defenestrate say this would feed 4 people. If you were to add rice, black beans, or corn it could feed up to 6 people.
All in all I am really happy with how this turned out. I hope to make this again soon.
