Fajitas with beans, peppers, and onions are a favorite in our household. There are quite a few components, but I can normally get these done in under an hour. If you prefer to use canned refried beans or cheese that has already been shredded, that will cut down your cooking/prep time as well. These are spicy but not overwhelmingly so. They're delicious, healthy, and fun for the whole family!
Level: Intermediate Cook
Servings: 3-4 people
Ingredients
Olive Oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small to medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large red onion, sliced
2 peppers (various colors -- I like red and orange), sliced
2 teaspoons Fajita Seasoning (I use Penzey's: https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/fajita-seasoning/c-24/p-387/pd-s)
1 large can Goya Black Beans (1 lb. 13 oz), drained
Salt
8 oz block of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Tortillas - Fajita Size
Toppings: Sriracha Sauce, guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite toppings :)
Steps
- Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil to TWO frying pans (enough to sufficiently coat the bottoms). Heat both pans on med-high
- To one pan, add the sliced red onion and peppers. Hit it with salt to taste
- To the other pan, add the chopped yellow onion
- Saute the red onion and peppers until they soften a bit, about 10 minutes. Add the fajita seasoning and cook a few more minutes. While that's going on, keep an eye on the yellow onion. When it's soft and translucent, add the minced garlic clove and cook for about a minute, turning down heat a touch if necessary
- Add the black beans to the yellow onion/garlic pan and cook down, about 10 minutes
- Fill your tortillas with the red onion and pepper mixture and the black beans. Top with cheese and your favorite toppings (the top picture shows guacamole and Sriracha Sauce. Click here for Sriracha Sauce recipe: http://meatlessaroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2017/05/recipe-sriracha-sauce.html)
- Sometimes I'll use Mexican rice in these as well. Play around!
- Enjoy!
