One of my favorite things to eat when I go out is fajitas. I used to eat them with steak or shrimp, but now days I make them at home with portobello mushrooms, onions and red bell peppers. I bought a packet of fajita seasoning mix and that added a little bit of flavor to my stir fry, but next time, I'm going to add my own lime juice and chili powder for a more natural taste.
One of my biggest problems in finding a low-fat vegan version of fajitas was not leaving out the meat, but finding a good tortilla. I tried the Food For Life sprouted grain tortillas but they were kind of dry. Then I found the Ole brand Xtreme Wellness wraps at WalMart. The High Fiber/Low Carb variety has no fat and 9 grams of fiber in each wrap. I found them a little soft and delicate, but I think I'm going to throw them into a frying pan next time and see if I can put a little toast on them.
They also make a corn tortilla which I want to try. I'd like to make veggie enchiladas. Baked dishes are something that I haven't had much of since starting to eat vegan. Casseroles don't have much going for them when there isn't any cheese. But veggie-filled enchiladas smothered in sauce might be pretty tasty.
