I have been a vegetarian for over half my life. When I became pregnant with my son, I dabbled in fish for protein. After a scare with melanoma cancer I decided to go vegan and soy-free a couple times a week. My husband and son eat all kinds of meat which makes cooking even more fun and interesting. This blog is a culmination of recipes from seasonal and vegan foods to vegetarian meals that can include fish and other proteins. Every recipe is clean, fresh and mostly veggie!

Fajitas Tacos
I love tacos and I’m always looking for a good way to make veggie or vegan tacos. It dawned on me the other night that fajitas style veggies would be great mixed with pinto beans and put into corn tortillas. And it was. We have an authentic mexican market down the street that makes corn tortillas fresh daily so I was lucky to pick some up and use them with this recipe but you can use any corn tortillas you like.
Ingredients
1-2 tbs canola oil
1/2 of a yellow onion sliced
2 green peppers sliced
3 green onions chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 tsp taco seasoning to taste
1 15 oz can of pinto beans
6-8 corn tortillas
1 tbs of cilantro chopped for topping
In a large pan saute yellow and green onion with peppers in canola oil. Add salt and pepper and taco seasoning and cover and let simmer on low for 5-10 minutes. Once onions are translucent and peppers are softened add pinto beans and stir together for another 5 minutes. Pour into corn tortillas and serve with your favorite toppings.
