Submitted by Debbwl

"A very different kind of fajita."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 large onion, sliced and quartered
• 1 bell pepper, sliced and quarted
• 1 (7 ounce) can artichoke hearts, quarted
• 8 tortillas, whole grain (I use LaTortilla multi grain)
• 1 1⁄3 cooked brown rice (cooked in broth)
• 2⁄3 cup smoked gouda cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 cup fat free sour cream
• 1⁄2 cup salsa

directions

1. Saute onions and bell pepper until tender. Add artichoke hearts and continue to saute until artichokes are hot.
2. Warm tortillas, we just place on a gas burner for a few seconds and then place in a tortilla warmer. You can also warm in the microwave and then wrap in plastic to retain moisture.
3. Layer rice, artichoke heart mixture, cheese, sour cream, and salsa on warm tortilla. Roll up and serve immediately.

A combination of red and yellow bell peppers were used to pump in some color. The most important change was I cooked the onions and bells quickly on high heat in a wok. That way the colors are maintained which wouldn't be the case if they are sauteed until tender. I didn't care for the cheese in the fajitas and with my second helping I skipped it all together. I think a Parmesan would work better in this particular recipe or a smoked cheddar. Fresh cilantro to garnish. Reviewed for Veg Swap #19-2010.

This was a great dinner tonight - thoroughly enjoyable esp as mot of the family are vegetarian. My only change was the type of cheese used as Gouda is pricey here. This is quick to make which is such a plus - made for Holiday Tag.

A very different fajita indeed! I like artichokes but i am not a huge fan. If you do, this is a fajita for you! I was recently on Jenny Craig and i had a fajita kit. I had chicken, onions, and peppers in the meal. I cooked it up in the skillet and added some artichokes. I believe this is more of a burrito but since i skipped on the rice, it was a fajita. The sour cream and salsa i had on the side! i don't want everything to get soggy. The sour cream is very important! It balances the tangy artichoke flavor...
