9/6 Happy Labor Day

In honor of Labor Day I wanted to revisit one of my favorite grillin recipes.  It is easy to replicate and oh so summery.  Enjoy.

Fresh Cactus and Lime Fajitas

Ingredients
2 cactus leaves, edges trimmed, spines removed and “eyes” or dark tips gently shaved off with a knife

1 yellow pepper

1 lime, quartered

2 lawash rounds

3 tbsp of garlic olive oil

1 tbsp of cumin

Toppings (optional) sliced green olives, vegan shredded cheese, salsa

Make it happen:

Brush the cactus leaves front and back with garlic olive oil.

Quarter the yellow pepper and brush with garlic olive oil, set aside any remaining olive oil for tossing over cactus and pepper after grilling.

Grill the cactus and pepper about 4 minutes each side until you get nice grill marks and the cactus is heated through.  Warm the lawash rounds  on the grill for about 30 seconds each side.  Slice the pepper and cactus (horizontally) into strips, toss in a bowl with remaining olive oil, cumin and the lime juice from one of the quarters (more if desired).  Divide in half and place in warm lawash rounds.
