Portabella-Poblano Fajitas

October 22, 2010 by Noelle 12 Comments

Thursdays are probably the busiest days of the week. We travel a totoal of 3 hours to get to our weekly destination for chorale rehearsals. What does this mean? It means I do not get a lot of cooking that day. It means if I do, I am a pretty frazzled person. Ask Ryan. I am usually not a happy camper. I have said it before but I am not a meal planner and some times I do not believe I need to be in the kitchen all evening AFTER cooking dinner. If I have leftovers I will usually pack those for the busy Thursdays. Sometimes I cook something really quick and pack it the SAME day. Not a happy camper. I feel like 3 people on these days.

This week I had plenty of leftovers and was stree-free yesterday. Ryan had leftover Orecchiette and Spinach with White Wine Sauce for lunch and then I made him lunch for dinner. It was so simple and hectic-free people.Why had I not convinced Ryan and myself that this would be an easier process? At least I enjoyed it. I had steel cut oatmeal for dinner last night. So easy, filling and delicious!

  • 3/4 cup steel cut oats
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1 apple, chopped

Boil water and add the oats and the applesauce for 15-20 minutes. Add the spices, cherries, apples, and extract and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir often. Remove from heat and enjoy!

Wednesday was our non-busy day so I knew it was my chance to make a nice meal at home. I had 5 portabella caps staring at me in the fridge and was wondering what to do with them. I quickly decided to make veggie fajitas because it had been a while since we had enjoyed some Mexican food. The fajitas were SO easy to make and so flavorful. I added a side of refried beans that could be added to the tortilla and another side of shredded lettuce and guacamole. It was a quick dinner but very tasty.

Even though I used poblano peppers for my fajita skillet, any other type of peppers may be used. Ryan likes stewed tomatoes in his fajitas so I added one tomato to the grill. A quick mixture of salt, pepper and lime juice bring the flavors together quickly. It was an even amount of veggies. I complained to a friend that so often are veggie fajitas JUST peppers and onions that I forget what else CAN be grilled.Creativity sometimes is lacking. Enjoy this recipe any night of the week!
