Vegan Recipes – Vegan Fajitas

Being a vegan is not a difficult diet to stick by. It does require an amount of discipline, simply because there are constant temptations, but if you are committed to your vegan diet and believe in it, it is easy to stick to your diet and make vegan meals. Here is a delicious recipe for meatless fajitas, made in the same traditional way as common fajitas. Here are the ingredients you will need.

  ¼ cup of olive oil
  Two medium small julienned yellow squash
  One large sliced onion
  ¼ cup of red wine vinegar
  One green bell pepper that is cut into thin strips
  One teaspoon of dried oregano
  One teaspoon of chili powder
  One red bell pepper that is cut into thin strips
  Two tablespoons of olive oil
  Garlic salt to your taste
  Salt and pepper to your taste
  One can, or 8.75 ounces, of drained whole kernel corn
  One teaspoon of white sugar
  One can, or 15 ounces, of drained black beans
  Two small julienned zucchinis

Combine the vinegar, olive oil, chili powder, oregano, garlic salt, pepper, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the zucchini, yellow squash, green and red pepper, and onion to the large bowl. Combine the marinade with the vegetables well, and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes but not more than 24 hours.
Over medium high heat, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Drain some of the marinades from the large bowl and place the remaining contents of the bowl in the skillet. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender or for between 10 to 15 minutes. Add the corns and beans and increase the heat to high. Cook at high for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are brown. Serve the vegetables with tortillas.
