Tonite was another throw-together dinner – unplanned but yummy. You

can, of course, use whatever veggies you have on hand, adjust seasonings

according to how much heat you like, and use different meat analogs or

none at all. I serve this with fresh guacamole, but store bought is

fine too. Fresh salsa is nice with this as well (but I didn’t have time

to make any).

 

 

 

“Chik’n” Fajitas

 

1 package LightLife Smart Menu Chick’n Strips

 

1 yellow squash, julienned

 

½ red pepper, julienned

 

½ green pepper, julienned

 

2 jalapeno peppers, diced

 

3 green onions, diced

 

4 cloves garlic, minced

 

½ cup black beans (this is how much I had leftover in the fridge, use

more or less according to your taste)

 

1 lime

 

1 tablespoon dried cilantro leaves

 

1 tablespoon chili powder

 

1 tsp cayenne pepper

 

Guacamole (recipe follows)

 

Shredded cheese (I used a “Mexican” blend of 4 cheeses)

 

Vegetable oil spray

 

Tortillas (corn or flour, whatever size you prefer)

 

 

 

Marinate the chick’n strips in the juice of 1 lime plus the cilantro,

chili powder and cayenne. The longer it sits, the more lime flavour the

chick’n soaks up.

 

 

 

Spray a non-stick pan with vegetable oil spray, and heat. Sautee

chick’n strips with veggies until everything is tender but not mushy.

 

 

 

Spread a generous amount of guacamole on a warmed tortilla, top with the

chick’n and veggies, and sprinkle with cheese. Wrap up and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

Guacamole

 

2 ripe avacados

 

1 plum tomato, seeded and diced

 

3 green onions, diced

 

1 lime

 

1 tbsp dried cilantro

 

½ tsp salt

 

3 cloves garlic, crushed

 

 

 

Mash the avacados. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the avocado and

stir in the other ingredients. Allow the flavours to blend before

serving.
