Easy Vegan Dinner: Fajitas




Ingredients
1 can chickpeas
1 can black beans
2 bell peppers, seeds removed and thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed and thinly sliced
1 yellow or white onion, cut into long thin slices
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp minced garlic
6 small flour or corn tortillas
Optional: salsa, guacamole (recipe included below)

Directions
In a large pan, add 1 tsp of coconut oil, followed by the onions, minced garlic and peppers. Rinse chickpeas and beans and add to pan after five minutes. Season with lime juice, cumin and chili powder (you may want to add more of each for more flavour).

While the bean filling cooks in the pan for roughly 10 to 15 minutes, prepare the guacamole by adding two avocados to a bowl, mash with a masher or fork, add juice from the other half of the lime, one minced garlic clove, 1/4 cup of sweet or red onion, fresh cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to add a splash of tequila if you're feeling feisty. Set aside.

Once the bean filling is cooked, warm tortillas and assemble.

This is a very simple recipe that is uber filling and healthy. Enjoy!
