Whether for your heart, cholesterol, diabetes, gluten intolerance, cancer fighters, or just plain better food choices.....this thread may be for you. I know it will be for me.
It's not a secret that I'm a big foodie with the belief that 'Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food'.....the human body was designed to care, support, repair and heal itself, but it can only do so, if we provide the right fuel. Unfortunately, I've gotten pretty lax this winter in my choices and I've been feeling it and it's not good.
I am hoping with this thread, it will help keep me on the straight & narrow. Please share your recipes & ideas so we can all make better choices.
Fajitas
Seasoning Mix...Taco Seasoning I Recipe I did make a few chances as noted. But was very good & just enough kick. I also added a good pinch of kale powder & turmeric for their health benefits.
1 T. chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder (I used double)
1/4 tsp onion powder (also doubled)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (I used about half flakes & half cayenne)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt (I skipped it)
1 tsp black pepper
1 lb meat (beef, burger, chicken, pork), sliced thin strips, except burger
1 green pepper, sliced thin strips
1 red pepper, sliced thin strips
1 onion, sliced
2 T. oil (not needed if using burger)
1/4 C water, or chop up some juicy tomatoes.
Cook meat in oil till just about done, then add the peppers & onions and cook a few minutes. Add seasonings & water or tomatoes, and stir to combine. Cook & stir till veggies are tender and all is well combined. Any water or juices should be evaporated.
Top a warm tortilla and enjoy. Use a dab of sour cream, salsa and/or guacamole, if you choose. (use corn tortillas if gluten free).
