Winter, meet summer: Spiced pepper and Brussels sprout fajitas
Spiced Pepper and Brussels' Sprout Fajitas. by Sarah Henning
You may have noticed from reading this blog, but I really, really like Brussels sprouts.
And though I usually like to roast or steam them, I thought it was about time to try them a new way (rather than just pairing them with new foods when I get bored).
I was feeling a bit daring last week, and decided to pair a heavy summer favorite with this winter favorite of mine. The results were spectacular and super yummy.
Everyone, I'd like you to meet the my special winter fajitas: Spiced Pepper and Brussels' Sprout Fajitas.
Sounds weird, tastes great. If you're not a Brussels sprout fan (and I know probably half of you aren't), you can try it with fresh broccoli or cauliflower. You'd get nutrients from the same family, and a slightly more mild flavor.
Spiced Pepper and Brussels Sprout Fajitas
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
8 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
Fajita Seasoning Mix (below)
Olive oil
Black beans
Cheese (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Guacamole or avocado (optional)
Fajita-sized flour tortillas
Fajita Seasoning Mix
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Mix seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
Throw your peppers, onion and Brussels into a saucepan or large skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Saute until the veggies are soft.
Next, add all the seasoning mix and add about a 1/4-1/2 cup water to the pan. Continue to saute until the sauce thickens and coats the veggies (this should take a few minutes).
Once the veggies are cool enough to eat, layer them into flour tortillas with black beans, avocado (or guac), salsa and other optional toppings. Enjoy!
