Veggie Fajitas Tacos

If you wanna spin a simple vegetarian dinner, why not try the veggie fajitas. It does not take more than 10 to 15 minutes to prepare this. I love Mexican Food since it has all the spicy flavors.

Serves : 2
Approximate Total Cost : $4.00
Approximate Cost per person : $2.00

Ingredients

Corn Tortillas - 8 (You can also use the Indian Chapathis)
Shredded Cheese - 1/2 cup (I used Asiago cheese)
Sour Cream - 8 dollops
Guacamole - 1 cup (Click here for the recipe)

For the Veggie Fajita

Green/Orange or Red Bell Pepper - 2
Red Onion - 1 small (thin long slices)
Mushrooms - 1 cup (sliced)
Baby Radish - 1 cup (sliced)
Salt - to taste
Cumin Powder - 1 teaspoon
Chilli Powder - 1 teaspoon
Canola Oil - 1 to 2 tablespoons

Method

1. In a hot skillet add all the ingredients for the Veggie Fajita and cook for 10 minutes in high heat until the veggies are cooked but still crispy. I add the veggies and leave it on high flame for 5 minutes without stirring, this helps in forming a slight char(brown tint) on the bottom part of the veggies. Then stir the veggies and try to brown it slightly. Don't overcook the veggies.
2. In another hot pan place the tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top of the tortilla. Once the cheese melts transfer the tortilla to a plate. 
3. Add the Veggie Fajita, Guacamole and sour cream on top of the cheesy tortilla. Serve with a Lime Wedge.
