Vegetable Fajitas

This makes about 8 small fajitas or 4 large fajitas

Sauce
½ cup salsa
½ cup sour cream
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Filling
1 tsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
Salt to taste
Hot sauce to taste

8 small (or 4 large) whole grain, soft shell, tortillas


Preparation:

1. In a bowl, combine salsa, sour cream and cheese. Set aside.

2. In a pan, heat oil on medium/high. Add peppers and onions. Saute for about 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Add chili powder, cumin, salt and hot sauce. Cook for another minute.

3. While vegetables are cooking, warm tortillas in the oven at about 200 degrees for a few minutes. Remove from oven. The shells should just be warm, not starting to get crispy.

To assemble fajitas:
In each tortilla, add some of the vegetable filling and a couple spoonfuls of sauce, and wrap like a burrito.

These made for a delicious and very easy to prepare meal.
