• 1 t ground cumin

• ½ t onion powder

• ¾ t Oregano (Mexican best)

• ¼ t black pepper

• 1 t salt (optional)

• ¼ t cayenne pepper (optional, or red pepper flakes if you want it spicy)

Fajita Soy Curl Mixture

• 1 medium white

• 1 ½ mixed bell pepper (I use green and red)

• 1 pk Butler Soy Curls

• 2 c low sodium vegetable broth

• 1 c Spanish Rice, premade without oil or make your own

• Any ingredient you like in your fajitas. (Diced tomatoes, avocado, black olives, beans, pepperoncino, cheese sauce, greens, etc.)

• 1 pkg whole grain fajita wraps (whole-grain wraps, and raw spinach wraps, or use lettuce as a wrap)

DIRECTIONS

1. Using all of the seasonings listed in the ingredients. Mix together in a small bowl to make your fajita seasoning.

2. Re-hydrate 1 package of Butler Soy Curls in 2 c of low sodium vegetable broth in a bowl. Add a large pinch of your fajita seasoning.

3. Transfer premade Spanish Rice into a bowl. (It is easy to make. 1 c cooked brown rice and ½ c salsa, or add a diced tomato, chili powder, green chilies and smoked paprika.)

4. While waiting on soy curls to re-hydrate, chop onion and bell peppers in strips. You may want a refried or black bean in your fajitas.

5. Add soy curls, onions and bell peppers to a non-stick pan. Add approximately ½ the seasoning. Sauté using some of the vegetable broth from the soy curls. Simmer and sauté onion and bell peppers until they are soft. Add more seasoning as needed.

6. Construct your fajitas by placing about a ¼c of soy mixture, Spanish Rice, any greens you would like, and fresh tomato diced, etc.

TIPS

1. It’s fun to allow guests to construct their own, too.

2. You could also make a salad out of this!
