Easy Simple Veggie Fajitas


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. 
Tweak the recipe to fit your taste buds. 

Mix all together in a small mason jar:
1T corn starch
2t chili powder
1/2 t salt
1 t paprika
1 t white sugar
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder (can be a full teaspoon if you love garlic!) 
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1/2 t cumin
