Jerk! Fajitas....yum

So I had a craving one day for fajitas. I had never made them before but how hard could they be? Make some guacamole, buy some cheese, tortillas, salsa, sour cream and stir fry up some veggies! easy!

The hardest part of this dish was trying to figure out was how to flavor the tofu and vegetable stir fry. I looked in the fridge and saw some jerk seasoning. I bought this stuff a long time ago when I visited Jamaica. Tasted it, and it was still good. Ok. But it was really spicy. I needed something to cut the spice a little. Saw some orange juice. Hmmm. Mixed them together.......interesting taste! I like it! Sauce is done!

Fajitas are a great, quick dinner that is easy to keep around for more than one meal. Just make sure you have enough tortillas, salsa, sour cream and cheese. Making loads of stirfry is pretty easy. These fajitas definitely beat anything that I have ever had in the stores. I hope you like it!

Ingredients

2 tbsp oil
1 block of tofu, cut into long strips
1 onion, cut into slices
2 bell peppers, cut into long strips
1 carrot, cut into thin sticks
1 zucchini, cut into thin sticks
10 mushrooms, sliced thick
you can also add: broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, green pepper

1 tsp jerk seasoning (depends on how hot you like it)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp corn starch

1 package whole wheat tortillas
1 bottle of salsa that you enjoy
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
guacamole from 1 avocado (to make guacamole, peel the avocado and chop up, then add lemon juice, salt and mash with a fork until it is at your desired consistency, then mix in finely chopped green onions and cilantro - that's it!)
1 tub sour cream (optional)

Directions:
1. Heat only 1 tbsp of the oil and fry the tofu in it until it is brown and crispy on medium heat = about 8-9 minutes. Make sure you toss this every minute to prevent burning. Put tofu in a bowl and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, orange juice and corn starch. Set aside.
2. Heat the other tbsp of oil and put in onions on medium heat.
3. Once translucent, throw in all vegetables except zucchini and mushrooms. Cook on medium high heat for about 4 minutes.
4. Put in the zucchini, mushrooms, crispy tofu and orange-jerk mixture. Cover for 2 minutes to cook on medium heat.
5. Turn off heat, mix around and enjoy!
