- Hi friends, it's Sam and
I'm back from vacation!
Now if you haven't seen my
video about my trip to Mexico
and what I ate while I was
there, so much delicious vegan-ness.
Be sure to check it out.
I'll pop a link up here
and one down in the description as well.
So today, to continue the Mexico theme,
I'm gonna make mixed vegetable fajitas.
Oh, spicy and sizzly, delicious, love it.
Now before we get to the fajita recipe,
I gotta say a big huge thank you to you.
It was my goal that by the end of April,
I wanted to hit 10,000 subscribers.
- Well your wish just came true.
(cheering)
- But thanks to you, I've
already hit 10,000 subscribers
and it's not the end
of April and I'm almost
at 11,000 subscribers.
I'm blown away, amazed,
so thank you so much
for your support, for subscribing,
for liking my videos and sharing them.
It totally makes my day
and I'm so glad that
so many of you are enjoying my videos.
Okay, so let's get to fajita making.
So many things, so many delicious things!
Alrighty, so these
fajitas are just delicious
mixed vegetable fajitas.
Today, I am gonna use
four colored peppers.
You can use use whatever colors you like.
Today, I have two red,
an orange and a yellow.
But if you like green,
you can add that in.
If you like only reds, you can do that.
Whatever you like.
I have a red onion.
You could also use a
yellow or a white onion
if you prefer.
Eight ounces of mushrooms,
which is one of these
little tubs, some cloves
of garlic, tortillas.
Just check to make sure they're vegan.
Then I've got all sorts of toppings.
I have a Chipotle salsa,
some refried beans,
avocado, lime, jalapeno,
cilantro, and hot sauce.
This would also be great with guacamole,
with my cashew sour cream
which is in my cookbook.
When buying refried beans,
just make sure to check
the ingredients as
sometimes, they contain lard.
So obviously, buy the ones without lard.
So I'm just gonna chop
up all of these veggies
and get them ready for the skillet.
For the peppers, I'm gonna
slice them nice and thick.
You wanna keep the slices fairly thick.
So that way, when they cook, you have nice
hearty chunks of vegetables
and it's not like small,
chopped up pile of mush, ya know?
Nice and thick is the way to go.
Okay, I can't help it.
Any time a pepper opens like this,
you have to do this.
Raaaa!
Yeah, you know, that's what I do.
Woo, love it, done!
I have chopped all of my
veggies, my big pile of peppers,
my chunky onions, my
sliced mushrooms and garlic
and I've also prepped all of my toppings.
You'll wanna prep these
toppings ahead of time
because once you start
cooking, it goes pretty fast
and you wanna be able to eat those fajitas
right from that sizzling
skillet, no waiting at all.
Let's heat up the tortillas.
You can use flour or corn
tortillas, whatever you prefer
and there are two ways
that you can heat it up.
The first method is using
your oven to heat up
the tortillas.
So, just grab yourself a sheet of tin foil
like so.
Take a pile of tortillas and then
wrap them up so they're all sealed in.
Then just pop them in
the oven and heat them up
until they are warm and tender throughout.
Delish.
The second method you can
use to heat up the tortillas
is if you have a gas oven.
If you have a gas oven like I do,
you can just turn on a
flame and put the tortilla
directly over the flame
and keep rotating it
and turning it with
some tongs so you don't
burn your fingers until you
have a lovely toasted tortilla.
Let's hop over to the stove now
and start sizzling up those veggies.
Let's get cookin'.
So, I've got my largest skillet here.
Use whatever your largest
frying pan or skillet is.
You want as much room as
possible so things can get
browned on the bottom.
To this, I'm gonna dad two
tablespoons of light oil.
One, two, pick up my shoe.
Heat that up.
Make sure the pan is
covered with oil nicely.
(humming)
Okay, now that the oil's hot,
I'm gonna add the onions.
Mushrooms, stay behind.
And the peppers.
Ah, get in there.
Nice! See this is why I want a large pan.
Look at how full this thing is already.
And to this,
chili powder, cumin,
salt, and smoked paprika
for a little ooh, ahh, yeah.
See it's already sizzling
and popping like crazy.
I love it.
Now is that the sound of a fajita or what?
All the spices are already
smelling delicious as well.
So you wanna make sure
to keep stirring this
every now and then to
make sure the veggies
are cooking evenly and
nicely and perfectly
and beautifully.
Hello, hello, can you hear me?
Noisiest meal ever.
The peppers are just starting to soften.
They still need to cook more.
So this is the perfect time to add the
mushrooms and garlic.
Woo! Get in there.
Stir that in.
My veggies are nice and tender.
The mushrooms have reduced in size.
It smells gorgeous and fragrant.
It's time to eat fajitas.
Woo! So hot and sizzly and
crackly and poppy, I love it.
Heat safe, that's heat safe.
Certainly hope it's heat safe.
Oh my goodness, that smells so good!
I love it, serving it right
from the table like this
is so fun.
It makes me feel like
you're at a restaurant
in your own home.
I have to turn this handle.
It's making me nervous
that it's gonna poke me
in the stomach.
Whew, so much better.
I can relax now.
If you do bring the pan
directly to the table,
of course, be very careful
'cause the whole pan
is very hot and you don't
wanna burn your little self.
Okay, let's load up some
deliciousness on this fajita.
Oh, smells so good.
I'm gonna do a little
refried beans, some salsa,
avocado, cilantro, I love cilantro.
I know some people hate it
and think it tastes like soap.
Those people are wrong.
Just kidding, but I love it.
A squeeze of lime and a little tobacco
'cause I like spice.
Oh yeah, how delicious is that?
Oh my goodness.
Mmm!
Why are fajitas always
so drippy and delicious?
Oh, it's so yummy, so fresh.
The spices on the vegetables are great.
You have that combination of hot veggies
and cold toppings which was really fun.
It's a lovely fresh summer meal.
So fun to make at home.
This would also be a really fun recipe
for a little bit of a party.
You could bake the big
plate of hot veggies,
put em down in the middle of the table,
have a whole bunch of toppings around
and everyone can make their
own fajitas as they please.
Now as always, the link to
the full recipe is down below
in the description.
So you can go click that, get all the full
recipe instructions, print it out,
make your salsa fajitas, yeah.
I hope you like this fajita video

to give a big huge like.
