Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cauliflower rice or regular rice
- 2 cups black beans
- Optional additions: corn tortillas, tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, fresh herbs, etc…
Avocado Sauce:
- 1 large avocado
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- 1 handful fresh parsley
- 1 cup diced green onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno, or regular ones
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus zest from lime
- Salt, to taste
- Water or pickled jalapeno juice
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a couple teaspoons olive oil and the sliced peppers and onions. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, onion and garlic powder and mix everything together well. Cook until peppers are softened and starting to brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Prepare your rice: If using cauliflower rice, sauté until cooked through. Let cool for a few minutes and then mix in some salt, lime juice and cilantro (optional!). If using regular rice or quinoa: cook completely and season if desired.
- Make your avocado sauce by adding sauce ingredients to a blender, plus about 1/2 cup of water. Turn blender on and slowly add in extra water, or the juice from your pickled onions until desired consistency is reached. I probably used about 1 1/2 cups total of liquid.
- Assemble your vegan fajita bowls: To each bowl, add 1/4 of the fajita veggies, 1/2 cup rice, 1/2 cup black beans, tortillas or chips and then top with avocado dressing and anything extra you like!
