Fajita Sunday! Ole!

One of the easiest and quickest meals we do at home is fajitas. Fajitas are pretty simple and are quite healthy (because of all the veggies) before all the traditional toppings of cheese and sour cream. The other thing that drives me crazy are the fajita seasoning packages that the majority of people use for flavouring.

Our version is the healthy version. We usually dice up onions and mushrooms, slice a red and green pepper, chop up a bunch of asparagus, and throw in roasted sweet potato chunks, and saute everything together in a pan. Once all the veggies are almost cooked through we put a couple of teaspoons of this "fajita dust" we found down the street at the Cheese Boutique. The ingredients of this preservative-free concoction are garlic, paprika, cumin, white pepper, lime juice powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. How simple! Some time this week I'm going to try and re-create this mixture.....

I try and buy kamut flour tortillas when the faijitas are pre-planned or at the very least the ancient grain tortillas by Dempsters if its a last minute decision. We top with some of the Neals Brothers Organic Salsa and roll it up. A meal easily done, start to finish, within 30 minutes.

And tonight - The Amazing Race - they are still in Moscow this week - we laughed last week at their obstacles with the cab drivers in the city. When we went last year we had more than our fair share of communication issues!!!
