Preparation
- Instructions
Guacamole: Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove seed and using a spoon scoop out the flesh, place in medium size bowl. Using a fork cut the halves into large chunks and mash about 1/3 – 1/2. Add diced jalapeno, onion, tomatoes, mineral salt and lime juice. Mix to incorporate. Add in chopped cilantro and mix again gently. TIP: To keep your guacamole from browning, pack your guacamole well, add about 1/4 – 1/2 inch water over top and place in the fridge. When ready to serve, drain water, mix and serve. This will keep air away preventing oxidation.
Fajitas: In a large skillet or wok, heat oil/water over medium high heat, add the onions and bell peppers, cook for about 6 – 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chili powder, cumin and garlic powder, and optional chipotle/cayenne, and cook 1 minute more. Add black beans and cook until heated through, about 3 more minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste adding anything extra you like.
Tortillas: Warm the tortillas. I like to heat mine carefully over the open flame of the stove top.
Assemble: Serve layering the fajita mix on top of each tortilla, then add cabbage and a nice helping of guacamole. Top with a squeeze of lime to each taco if you like.
Serves 3 generously.
Store: Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 – 5 days, in a covered container.
