Well this bit deserves a little more than a cursory bullet point list. This was the best meal I've made on the challenge so far. And totally challenge compliant!!
We eat fajitas/mexican stuff probably about 3 x a month, because its quick and easy, and also very tasty. But of course these delicious dishes are usually based around a fairly large quantity of wheat/corn products ie wheat flour wraps, corn tortillas, corn chips.. etc
I would usually eat a meat substitute in my wraps (not allowed on this challenge), and in addition, I noticed that the spice mix we usually use includes sugar. Balls.
So I basically remade our usual fajitas, MINUS THE CRAP.
- Home blended spice mix: chilli powder, sea salt, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander (ground and fresh), cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, lemon juice, lime juice
- Flash fried peppers, onions and asparagus
- Home made guacamole: avocado, red chilli, onion, tomato, lime juice, coconut cream, coriander, seasoning
- Salsa: tomato, onion, chilli, coriander, seasoning
- Refried beans: kidney beans and butter beans with tomatoes, blended spice mix (above)
- Omelette: with sundried tomatoes and mexican spice mix (above), cut into strips
But what did I do for wraps, you ask?? Why....
- Delicious steamed savoy cabbage leaves, of course!!
Not gona lie, and no time for modesty - this was MEGA. Lovely two-handed "wraps" stuffed with delicious flavours and textures.
Really pleased with myself (can you tell??). I didn't even miss the cheese (!!). This one will be making a reappearance I'm sure.
Also of note: had a big 14 fruit and veg count today (happy with this!) :)
