Vegetarian Fajitas Recipe
These Vegetarian Fajitas with Creamy Chipotle Sauce are a meatless but protein-packed meal with a delicious restaurant-style sauce!
Ingredients
For the Creamy Chipotle Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 - 2 teaspoons finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce optional, to make sauce spicier
For the Vegetarian Fajitas:
- 1 can 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can 15 ounces pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 12 flour tortillas fajita sized
- 1 batch Fajita Veggies warmed
- Lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Make the Creamy Chipotle Sauce:
- In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, adobo sauce, lime juice, and honey. Taste the sauce and decide if you'd like it spicier. If so, stir in chopped chipotle pepper until desired flavor is achieved.
Make the Vegetarian Fajitas:
- In microwave-safe medium bowl, use potato masher or fork to mash half of black beans and half of pinto beans until relatively smooth. Place remaining whole beans in separate microwave-safe medium bowl. Microwave each bowl of beans 2 to 3 minutes or until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Cover to keep warm.
- Wrap tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave 30 seconds or until warm and pliable. Alternatively, use the flames of a gas stove to warm and soften tortillas.
- Fill tortillas with mashed beans, whole beans and Fajita Veggies. Drizzle with Creamy Chipotle Sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges and cilantro.
Notes
- For an easy meal prep version of this recipe, prep the creamy chipotle sauce and fajita veggies in advance. Then, when you want to eat, you’ll simply be warming the veggies and the beans and you’re ready!
- If you don’t have both types of beans, that’s totally fine. You can use all black beans or all pinto beans. The important thing is to have two different textures!
