Local Pepper Veggie Fajitas
This is the best time of year at the Co-op when it comes to local produce. We have over 60 different fruits and vegetables right now all from local farms! When walking through the produce department, it was impossible to not notice the bright, beautiful array of local peppers. The first thing that came to mind was veggie fajitas! We used 3 different kinds of bell peppers, added onions and black beans, and topped it with mashed avocado and a new Botana sauce from Siete. This recipe is super quick and easy and is a perfect summer dinner.
