Fajita Night

I wanted to make it taco night. I even bought the soy crumbles. But I couldn't find the refried beans or the hard shells, and with Doris in tow, I didn't want to do the searching. So it was fajita night. Inspired by our hot peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions from our CSA.

Karen made the salsa. She doesn't like how I do it. I'm not really willing to chop, chop, chop so I put it in the food processor and she thinks it's too soupy. Salsa included tomato, red onion, hot house pepper, cilantro, cumin, lime juice. We used multi-grain tortillas and filled them with black beans seasoned with cumin & chili powder, onions and peppers (bell and hot house) seasoned with cumin and chili powder and lime juice, sharp cheddar cheese, guacamole (avocados mashed with lime juice), salsa, and pepper sauce.

Doris for the first time ate a burrito. Usually she just eats the filling. She put beans, guacamole, and cheese inside a tortilla, rolled it up, and took bites. She didn't get the roll right and most of the filling fell out of the bottom and she mostly just ate tortilla, but she really liked it. I think it made her feel older. She also scooped beans, guacamole, and salsa with some Trader Joe's soy & flaxseed tortilla chips. It think it's safe to say she likes Mexican now.
