Veggie Fajitas

Veggie Fajitas

1 large bell pepper (any color, or combination), sliced in strips
1/2 onion, cut in rings
1 cup other veggies (zucchini, carrot, broccoli, corn, etc.) sliced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
½ lemon, juiced
8 oz prepared tempeh or tofu (see recipe below)
                    OR
1 cup Morningstar Farms Chicken or Steak Strips
                    OR
1 cup gluten patties, cut in strips
 
     Combine veggies with tempeh (or substitute).  Spray briefly with nonstick spray and toss.  Sprinkle with oregano and chili powder and toss again.  Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick and add veggie mixture.  Place in a preheated 450 degree oven.  Bake for 5 minutes.  Take out and stir veggies, then drizzle lemon juice over mixture.  Return to oven for another 3-5 minutes. 
     Take out veggies and build fajitas.  In your burrito place a bit of veggie mixture along with other optional toppings--beans, guacamole, fresh salsa, cheezy sauce, soy sour cream, etc.
 
 
Tempeh (or tofu) for Fajitas
 
8 oz package of tempeh, sliced in strips (or half a package of firm tofu, sliced)
½ lemon, juiced
2 Tb soy sauce
1/4 cup water
 
In small saucepan combine all ingredients.  Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes, occasionally turning tempeh or sloshing juice around to coat all sides of tempeh.  Remove tempeh from pan and add to veggie mix and continue with instructions above for fajitas.
