Ingredients:
Fajita
- 4 wheat tortillas, 20 cm in diameter.
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into thin strips
- 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1.5 teaspoons fajita spice mix, recipe included
- 4 egg whites, beaten
- 1 cup Dominica salsa, for serving, recipe included
- Hot sauce, for serving, optional
- Low-fat sour cream, for serving, optional
Fajita Spice Mix
- 2 tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon corn flour
Salsa Dominica
- 5-6 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 8-10 green onions, white and light green parts, chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped to almost a paste
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- Juice from 1-2 limes
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 100°C. Place tortillas in a single layer on a wire rack to warm through.
- Heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat in a small, prepared cast iron or nonstick skillet. Spray with a little water. If the droplets sizzle and evaporate, the skillet is hot enough. Add the bell pepper and onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and fajita spice mix. Continue sautéing until fragrant and the vegetables are heated through.
- Add the egg whites to the pan. As they begin to set, use a silicone spatula to fold them into the vegetables. Move the liquid portions toward the hot surface. When ready, season with salt and pepper.
- Place the fajita filling directly in the pan and spoon it onto the heated tortillas. Serve salsa Dominica or hot sauce (if using) and sour cream (if using) separately.
Spice mixIn a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, cornmeal, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk to combine. Store in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. The mixture will keep for 2 months.
SalsaCombine tomatoes, green onions, jalapeños, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and vinegar in a medium serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then stir again.
