Versatile Mexican Fajita Mix

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Thanks to Shoko and Tyebe of the Canadian Cats and Nelly and Phenny of Easy Blog for hosting this yummy day.

Xena: Today we are presenting a typical recipe from our Mommy. It has no name. She has no recipe. She saw this on Allrecipes.com and winged it from there. When Daddy put it in one of his GF wraps and bit into it he swooned, re-devoted himself forever to Mommy, asked her what she was doing after lunch…

Lucy: Xena! You’re doing it again!

Xena: Fine. (paws) You tell it then, and let’s see how interesting it is (not).

Lucy: It’s not supposed to be interesting. It’s a recipe. It’s like reporting, and you know I’m the Ace Reporter in this pack.
Anyhoo, Mom didn’t take any pictures ’cause she didn’t know she would be sharing the recipe, but I’m sure Xena will come up with something to entertain you. This is basically how to make it.

Xena: So you’re honey will love you forever.

Lucy: *sigh* If you’re like our folks and are’nt eating lectins, put 3 colored bell peppers (you can use green too if you like them) in your Instantpot or other pressure cooker. Set the timer to 0 minutes and the setting to pressure cook normal. If you don’t care about lectins, then you can skip this step.

While that’s happening, peel and slice a small onion and begin to sautee it in olive oil (Mom uses that oil because it is good for you, but you can use whatever oil you want) in a large skillet.

Now, back to the peppers: When the pressure cooker gives that final beep, release the pressure and take out the peppers with a tong or something other than your fingers ’cause they will be hot. Remove the seeds and slice them into medium thin strips. Add to the pan with the onions.

Add a couple of chopped garlic sections, or more if you really love garlic.

After everything is cooked through and starting to carmelize, add a little bit (about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) ground cumin.

If you have some cut up chicken or beef you want to add, now is the time. Mom had cooked a half pound of 100% grass-fed ground beef, and added that.

This is good over rice or in any type of wrap. We can’t tell you if the leftovers are good ’cause there weren’t any.

Xena: It smells so good, it will have you begging for some!

XOXOX from Lucy and Xena, wishing everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo!!

  1. No, not too bad a move. Any you’ll find that a lot of the NO veggies and rice and potatoes are edible if you kill the lectins in the pressure cooker.

  2. YUM! That would work for us, too! With or without those pesky lectins. How dare they ruin our good noms?? LOL!

    On second thought, perhaps lectin reduction or lectin free would benefit petcretary’s sore wrist and fingers. But all the yummy noms she’s have to modulate or eliminate…since we do paleo/keto/low carb already it might not be such a drastic move.

  7. It’s OK Miss BellaDharma. Most folks don’t know, either. They are a type of protein found in beans, corn, and other fibrous foods, nightshades, squash and many other foods. In Dr. Gundry’s book, he explains how lectins cause inflammation, GI problems, leaky gut syndrome, joint pain, and a host of other problems.
    Hmm, your Ladymew might benefit from being on the same diet as all of us (yes we’re on the Gundry diet along with Mom and Dad). Check out Dr. Gundry’s books and free podcasts! XOX Lucy

  11. I buy the mini peppers at Aldi. They are so good..I never knew about green peppers until I started to shop when I got married. We always had red peppers growing up. Green are so bitter. I don’t ever buy them. Go yellow, orange, and red.

  13. Do you have an Aldi’s store near you? Much cheaper there. Even at our local grocer, if we get them packaged together they end up about $1 each. The hubby loved it so much he learned to make it and did it for lunch today!

  28. In my opinion, once the peppers and onions hit the heat, everything else is good with me. That smell is intoxicating! Also, Mom thinks anything on a wrap is her favorite food.

    Love and licks,
