VEGGITARIAN FIJITAS WITH AVOCADO TORTILLAS

VEGGITARIAN FIJITAS WITH AVOCADO TORTILLAS 


NOTE: The recipe of the Avocado tortillas is directly below this recipe.




INGREDIENTS:


1. Batch of home made Avocado Tortillas. 
1 small or medium white onion.
8 small sweet peppers or 2 red bell peppers.  Your choice in color.
1 can or Rosarita Beans.  (This is my go to beans in case of an emergency.) Or home cooked beans.
2 cups of cooked rice or 2 cups left over rice.
1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric
4 cups homemade soup broth.  
1 cup of lose packed cilantro leaves.
3 1/2 garlic cloves peeled. 
2 Tablespoon olive oil




MEATHOD OF PREPARAION: 


FIRST:  COOKING RICE   When cooking rice a glass lid is great. 
Mince cilantro and garlic and saute at the bottom of a pot on Medium.  When you start to smell the garlic, turn off the burner.  Add 2 cups of rice, 3 cups of soup broth and then the 1/2 teaspoon of Turmeric. Stir everything to mix.  Cover with a lid and turn to high.  (Stay & Watch).    As soon as the rice starts to bubble and the bubbles make their way to the top of the lid.  Turn to low.  Look into the pot if you see bubbles coming out of holes in the rice and the bubbles are not covering the rice all the way anymore. Turn off the stove top and let the rice rest for 15 minutes.


SECOND:  VEGGIES
Peel the onion and cut it in half.  Then cut it so the onion half look like a rainbow halves. Place in pan with 1 table spoon of olive oil.   Next cut up small sweet peppers or large red bell peppers and add to pan with onion.   Turn stove top on high and saute with a wooden spoon until you see the edges of the onion turn a brown or even a little black here and their. When you see this, it is called caramelization, and by this time the sweet peppers will be done too.   When done do not cover, the food will over cook and turn to mush.  Not good.


THRID: BEANS
In a small pot add the refried beans and add 1/2 cup of soup broth.  Heat on medium and stir bean until they start to bubble and are cooked. Well they don't have to bubble, just as long as they are very hot.


FOURTH:  WARMING TORTILLAS
Place about 5 tortillas into  a paper bag, lay a damp paper towel over the tortillas and microwave for 15 to 20 second.  Depending on your Microwave. 


FIFTH:  Have your favorite condiments ready.  Cheese, sour cream, salsa and maybe some jalapenos.   

YUMMY!   Were having this tonight for dinner.  :)
