Delicious Vegetarian Fajita - Healthy

Submitted by Roses Granddaughter

"This is very healthy, simple and easy to make. You can buy the menudo spice in any grocery store. Just look in the mexican food aisle. I prefer to serve it with Mission's extra thin corn tortillas (lower calorie), because you can slightly warm them in the pan and they will soften. Or try the low carb flour tortilla for extra fiber."

2. The more menudo spice you add - the spicier it will be.

Wondeful, I think I will add a bit of basmati rice to it next time. If you're used to eating greasy foods - you might not appreciate the great taste of this right away.
