Mexican Vegetable Fajitas

Another very busy day, how come work gets in the way of everything? Oh how I’d love to be working on recipes and this blog full time! It’s way more fun than real work and we always have something good to eat as well. Oh well one day I will be doing it I’m sure, it takes a lot of work and determination but I believe that I’ll get there in the end. Still doing the finishing touches on the bedroom renovation project. These projects always seem to take longer than you expect, what with real work, this blog and having fun there’s not much time for working on the house lol.

So for tonight’s recipe I thought I’d bring a little summer zest into the spotlight with Mexican Vegetable Fajitas. This is a quick and simple fajita recipe, one that you can simply whip up in about 20 minutes with some simple ingredients that you have in your fridge.

The great thing about Mexican Fajitas is that you can add just about any vegetable to make it your own recipe such as beans, rice, quinoa, peppers, onions the list is endless.

My fajitas are simple because the kids enjoy it this way, although they do love it spicy with hot sauce and salsas.
