A great go-to when you don't know what to make for dinner- healthy, simple and delicious.
Step One: Mince one jalapeno. Heat a large pan over high heat. Pour one package of frozen corn and the minced jalapeno in the heated pan. Let them cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring. Enjoy the smells that start coming from your stovetop. Stir once- then let cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Put Aside
Step Two: Chop up 1 Red Pepper (add 1 Orange Pepper if you want a bigger serving) and 1 White Onion. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in the large pan. Once heated, put the chopped peppers and onion in the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
It is going to start getting steamy, and your kitchen will be smelling wonderful!
Step 3: Mix the corn/jalapeno mix into the onions and peppers.
There is not a better smell than fresh roasted corn.
Step 4: Mix 1 1/2 Tablespoons of a fajita seasoning into the veggies(see bottom of this post for a homemade seasoning recipe!) Add 1/4 cup of water into the pan and mix everything together. Cover and let simmer for 3-5 minutes (until the water is gone).
Let those flavors seep into your fajita veggies.
Step 5: Give your veggies one final stir and breathe in deep.
Now choose any toppings you want to add to your dinner- I always enjoy fresh avocado and diced roma tomatoes.
ENJOY!
Homemade Fajita Seasoning:
Fajita Seasoning is too easy to make yourself to be buying those little packets ever again. No more chemicals if you make a big batch yourself with spices you already have in your kitchen.
