Vegan Fajitas

Submitted by Lucy

Ingredients:

Tortillas (corn or flour)
one cup brown rice
can chopped tomatoes
one small can chiles
black beans - cooked or canned (whole or refried)
1 medium to large onion, sliced
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
small amount of oil
8 oz. tempeh or some "fake meat", sliced into strips (optional)
Fajita seasoning packet (optional)
avocado, tomato, lettuce, vegan cheese (all sliced or shredded) if desired

Directions:
Cook the rice in two cups of water with the tomato and chile.

Sautee the onion and peppers together in the oil over high heat until they begin to brown. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Sautee the tempeh/fake meat in same pan until slightly browned (a little soy sauce helps - like a teaspoon or two)

Warm the beans.

Layer the rice, beans, peppers and tempeh on a tortilla, top with avocado/tomato/lettuce/vegan cheese if desired - be careful, it is tempting to put too much on one tortilla - roll and eat.

Comments: I like these very simple (rice, beans, peppers and tomatoes), my husband likes everything on them - be creative!

Mushrooms are also good instead of (or in addition to) the tempeh.
