DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Sauté onions, peppers, salt, spices, and herbs until onions become glassy.
Add garlic, chayote, tomato, chipotle and beans; sauté 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the tortillas and keep warm in an insulated container or wrapped in a towel.
Conventional Method: heat tortillas one at a time in a skillet over medium high heat –about 20 seconds on each side.
Microwave Method: wrap tortillas in a clean, damp dish towel. Microwave on high—about 1 minute for every 12 tortillas.
Oven Method: wrap 8 tortillas in foil and warm at 350°F.
Let everyone build their own fajitas at the table or assemble and serve with your topping of choice, such as Pico de Gallo.
