Sizzling Mixed Pepper Fajitas

Sizzling Mixed Pepper Fajitas

We love fajitas at our house. There are so many things you can do to make them different, but this is by far my favorite recipe. This Sizzling Mixed Pepper Fajitas recipe goes great with guacamole and salsa! Add a side of your favorite homemade tortilla chips and you have a kickin’ meal!  What is your favorite way to eat fajitas?

Here’s what you will need:

– 1 large red onion
– 1 large carrot
– 1 sweet red bell pepper
– 1 sweet green bell pepper
– 1 sweet yellow bell pepper
– high heat cooking oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained well
– 1/2 tsp cumin
– 1/4 tsp chili powder
– 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
– cooked strips of meat or poultry, optional
– tortillas for serving

Cut the onion, carrot, and all the peppers up into thin strips. Get out a large heavy skillet and drizzle cooking oil in enough to lightly coat the bottom. Put skillet over medium-high heat and add all the vegetables, quickly cooking and stirring until just softened a bit. Stir in the garlic, beans, seasonings, and meat if you are adding, stirring and cooking for 1 minute, just until hot.

Remove skillet from heat.Use tongs to fill tortillas for serving.

Will serve 4 to 6.
