Ingredients
- 6 Corn tortillas 1 per fajita
- 15 ounces refried black beans canned
- 4 teaspoons Taco seasoning
- 4 cups bell peppers frozen or freshly diced
- 1 cup corn frozen or fresh
- Salsa
Optional Toppings
- Greek yogurt or sour cream 1 Tbsp per fajita
- guacamole 1 Tbsp per fajita
- Mexican cheese blend 1 Tbsp per fajita
Instructions
- First, heat the refried beans over medium heat. Then, add in a couple teaspoons of taco seasoning to help give the beans some spice.
- While the beans are cooking, heat the bell peppers and corn in a large skillet over medium heat. Add a two teaspoons of taco seasoning to the bell pepper/corn mixture (or more if you like the veggies spicy). Let everything simmer together for 10 minutes until the taco seasoning + water from the cooked veggies make a rich sauce.
- Heat the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet
- Assemble your fajitas! Spread a couple tablespoons of black beans on one corn tortilla, top with the bell pepper/corn mixture, salsa, and one tablespoon each of cheese, guacamole and sour cream/greek yogurt if you like.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen veggies for these fajitas! Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on whether you use fresh or frozen - you want the veggies to be cooked through but still slightly crisp.
- The fajita filling is even better the next day! Enjoy this recipe as delicious leftovers.
- If your canned beans are too thick, use a few tablespoons of water to thin out the refried beans while cooking.
- Vegan: Use dairy-free cheese and sour cream or omit both.
- Gluten-Free: Keep it gluten-free by using corn tortillas.
