Last week, I made fajitas at home and never had a chance to share them!  I like making fajitas at home because you can add so much variety to them and really personalize your favorite flavors.  I am also finding that ethnic foods fit well with my diet, so fajitas were a great weeknight meal for me.

First I made Smokey Corn and Beans:

Pieces:

1. one can of drained black beans
2. one half bag of frozen corn
3. juice of one half of a lime
4. 3 tbsp. smoked paprika
5. a few handfuls of torn parsley

Process:

1. In a large pan, add the beans, corn, lime juice, and paprika.
2. Cover and put over medium heat.  Stir every few minutes, until warmed through.
3. Toss with a few handfuls of torn parsley.
4. Serve on the side of fajitas, or right in the tortilla!

Then I sauteed chicken tenders and sliced green pepper and onions in a large saute pan with some olive oil.  I added about 3 tbsp. lime juice, 2 tbsp. cumin, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and garlic salt.  Stir and cover for about 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and pepper and onions are tender.

To assemble fajitas, I used warm white corn tortillas topped with smokey corn and beans, chicken with peppers and onions, mild salsa, and guacamole.  So tasty, I couldn’t stop at just one!  Ole!
