Ingredients:
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup fresh sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, minced ( NOT dried)
1/2 tablespoon tequila
1 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 red bell peppers
1 green bell peppers ( or orange, yellow)
1 yellow onions
1 medium zucchini
1 medium summer squash
Directions:
For marinade, blend all ingredientgs together well and set aside.
Combine the sour cream ingredients and stir well. Set aside.
To prepare vegetables for cooking, cut vegetables to uniform size strips 1/4 inch wide by 3 inches long. Combine all the cut vegetables in a large bowl.
Preheat a large skillet or wok on high heat then add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the vegetables, and saute for 2 minutes.
Next carefully add half of the lime marinade and saute another 2 minutes. The vegetables are finished cooking when they are heated through entirely and still have a crunchy texture, but not mushy. If the vegetables start to dry out while cooking, add a little bit more of the marinade.
Serve the fajita mixture with a choice of warmed corn or whole wheat tortillas. (I love spelt tortillas!). Serve sour cream on the side.
