Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 pounds russet potatoes -- about 4, peeled

1 1/4 pounds eggplant -- stem trimmed

1 pound carrots -- peeled

1 red bell pepper -- stemmed and seeded

8 ounces onion -- chopped

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

3 cloves garlic -- minced or pressed

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon fresh oregano

1 teaspoon pepper (optional)

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup vegetable broth

12 fat-free flour tortillas (8 " ) -- warmed

lime wedges

fresh cilantro sprigs

non-fat sour cream

salt -- to taste

 

Step 1: Cut potatoes and eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut carrots and bell

pepper into thin slices. In a 12 x 17 inch roasting pan, combine potatoes,

eggplant, carrots, bell pepper, onion, lime juice, garlic, chili powder,

oregano, and other seasonings. Cover pan tightly with foil.

 

Step 2: Bake in a 450 degree oven until vegetables exude juice, about 25

minutes. Uncover pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates

and vegetables are browned and stick to pan, about 30 minutes. Add broth; stir

to scrape browned bits free. Bake until liquid evaporates again.

 

Step 3: If making ahead of time, let cool, cover, and chill up to 1 day. Mix in

1/4 cup water and bake, uncovered in a 450 degree oven until hot, about 15

minutes.

 

Step 4: Transfer vegetable fajita mixture to a bowl. Spoon into warm flour

tortillas and add juice from lime wedges, cilantro, sour cream and salt, to

taste; fold or roll tortillas around filling and hold to eat.

 

Nutrient analysis per serving (2, 8 " tortillas + 1/6 of filling):

Calories: 521

Protein: 13g - 10%

Carbohydrate: 53.7g - 80%

Fat: 6g - 10%

 

Diabetic Exchange:

1 Fajita = 2 Bread + 2 Vegetables

 

TIP - Regular sour cream will add 6 more grams fat; 2 tbsp non-fat sour cream

adds about 20 calories. Serve only one tortilla per portion to decrease calories

and total carbohydrate. These are meant to be a full meal, and a green salad is

the only addition needed.
