Fajita Lettuce Wraps.

In this house we LOVE Mexican food. I mean really LOVE. It is the only thing every one of us could eat everyday, for every meal.  It's a deep love. One of our favorite things to eat are fajitas. Ands beans. And tacos. And burritos. You get the point.

 Fajita Lettuce Wraps

Marinade
1 lb. Chicken or beef
juice of 1 lime
1T olive oil
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. coriander
1 clove garlic, mined
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (if you like spice)
salt & pepper

Marinate all of the above  ^ for at least 2 hrs.

Vinaigrette

juice of 1 lime
enough red wine vinegar to make lime juice reach 1/4c
1 garlic clove, minced
salt & pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
3T homemade mayo
2 tsp. cilantro, chopped
enough olive oil to make dressing come to 3/4c

Add all of the dressing ingredients above ^ and whisk until well mixed.

1-2 lg. onions, sliced (we like 2)
2 lg. different colored bell peppers, sliced
3-4T olive or coconut oil
1 pkg. sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 jalapeno, diced (optional- we like spice!)
1 zucchini, sliced (optional)
i head iceberg lettuce or Boston lettuce leaves
2 avocados, sliced
cilantro leaves, for topping

Cook your meat first and then set aside. Sautee' all of the veggies adding the zucchini and mushrooms last. Make sure they don't get mushy (yuck). Fill your lettuce leave with meat, veggies and top with avocado, cilantro and vinaigrette. Serve with a crock pot of spicy black beans...... THAT recipe is to follow. :) Enjoy!
