Arriba! Fajitas!

Sorry it has been an absolutely ridiculous time since I posted anything on the blog. I have been taking photos of Little Miss' food but we have had so much to do as we are moving! However, being a mum I am always busy so I just need to find the time to write even if it means writing on my phone like I do now. 

A few weeks ago, Little Miss' dad and I fancied fajitas, something we used to have a lot before LM was born. We have ours really spicy so we adapted it to make it less spicy and added more spices after.

I wasn't organised or skilled enough to make my own tortillas this time so they were ready made and the rest of the recipe is really simple. You can use most vegetables in this but we tend to go for the usual peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms with a side of beans.

For the 3 of us (although I made extra for next day's lunch) I probably used 2 peppers, one small red onion, six mushrooms and 4 medium sized tomatoes. These were sliced and fried in some olive/vegetable oil with the onions going in a few minutes before everything else. 

In a separate saucepan I cooked some red kidney beans with some chopped tomatoes (about half a 400g pack/tin), mashing the beans up as I went.

For us I added in some BBQ sauce/liquid smoke into the beans and spices into the veg but left it out for LM.

Simple as that! I would recommend guacamole with it but I am allergic to avocados (boooooo!) so we don't have it. Some soya yoghurt and/or vegan cheese are also nice additions.

We ripped LM's tortilla into smaller strips to make mini fajitas and she also grabbed some of the mixture in her hands just to eat by itself.

I love fajitas so was very happy to find LM  enjoyed them too.
