Fajita Pinto Pita

When I decided to prepare this, it was just going to be a pita topped with pinto beans, lettuce, tomato and avocado. I fix it this way and it tastes great. Oh and add some salsa too!!! ;-)

But instead I decided to do something a little different. It just popped into my head to try some sauteed veggies on top. I really wasn't thinking of trying out a new recipe or coming up with one on my own. Sometimes when those ideas pop into my head, they end up being the best recipe. More so than when I deliberately plan a recipe. So here it is.

Fajita Pinto Pita
Servings - 2

1 small yellow onion
1/2 orange bell pepper sliced
1/2 green pepper sliced
1 clove garlic minced
1 zucchini chopped
2 teaspoons spike (no salt)
chili powder to taste

Spray a pan with olive oil spray or put a drop of olive oil in pan and wipe with paper towel. Add all ingredients in pan and stir fry. I add a little water as needed. Meanwhile heat up already prepared pinto beans. I usually cook my in the crockpot and usually have some in the refrigerator or freezer. When they are done in the crockpot I add some garlic and onion powder and also a little braggs liquid aminos. Also place a no fat whole wheat pita on a cast iron skillet to heat one side and then the other. You want them nice and hot. Layer pita on plate and add pintos in their own sauce and topped that with the sauteed vegetables. Add lots of lettuce and tomato and you have a very satisfying, tastey meal for lunch. Enjoy!

You are welcome and I hope you enjoy it. This will be one of those recipes that will be prepared quite often because I like it so much. ;-)
