Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large package gnocchi, gluten free if needed (the gluten free gnocchi package seems to have less gnocchi than the regular so you might want to use two boxes if you use the GF one)
  • 1 large red pepper, thinly sliced and then cut in half
  • 1 large green pepper, thinly sliced and then cut in half
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil

Avocado salsa:

  • 2 large avocados
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 12 tablespoons chopped jalapeno
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in your oil.  Once the oil is hot, add in the gnocchi and cook until softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove the gnocchi from the pan, add in about 2 teaspoons olive oil and the peppers, onions and a pinch of salt. Cook the fajita mixture until peppers are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the gnocchi back into the pan along with the black beans, salt, pepper and all the spices. Stir until everything is combined and heated through, just a few more minutes.
  4. Make the avocado salsa while the gnocchi is cooking. Dice the avocados and add them to a large bowl along with all of the other ingredients. Mix until combined and store in the refrigerator until needed.
  5. Serve dish immediately and top with a big spoonful of avocado salsa.
