Fajitas Primavera

A fajita is a term originally referred to the cut of beef used in the dish which is known as skirt steak. Popular meats today also include chicken, pork, shrimp, and all cuts of beef. In restaurants, the meat is often cooked with onions and bell peppers. Popular condiments are shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, and tomato. (Wikipedia)

Wrap up this delicious assortment of flavors. Stuffed with a variety of colorful and nutrient-packed canned vegetables, as well as fresh herbs and spices, this Mexican dish is an easy, nutrient-rich menu choice.

Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup canned corn kernels, drained

  • 1 cup canned whole green beans, drained
  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut in strips
  • 1 cup canned, diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
