Fajitas – Great for Everyone Aboard!

I love fajitas!

But sometimes, I forget about them.

This happened the other day when I had one red bell pepper and one green bell pepper. I was trying to figure out what we were going to have for dinner, and suddenly FAJITAS!!!! flashed through my head.

How could I forget you, oh lovely fajitas??

You can make fajitas adaptable to just about anyone with any kind of allergy, I do believe. Since I am gluten free, I have the corn tortillas, but I love them more than flour now.

I like following this recipe for my fajita marinade:

• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• salt and pepper, to taste

Add whatever else you please (I added spinach this time, and yeah, I’ll be revisiting it). It’s an easy meal to slap together for everyone. Works well for pickier eaters, who only seem to want cheese, sour cream, and chicken on theirs.

Also, I’d like to pass along my favorite guacamole recipe (though I didn’t make it for that dinner above). Given to me by my friend, Zoe, hence the name!

Zoe’s Guacamole

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 tsp coarse salt.
• 2 seeded plum tomatoes
• 2 minced jalapeno peppers (added if you want it spicier – I usually just add some hot sauce)
• 1 minced small red onion
• 1/2 cup cilantro
• 3 to 4 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Mix all together, and smash with a fork. Leave chunky!
