Veggie Fajita / Veg Fajita–Mexican Platter

Talk about simplicity and I cannot ignore this delicious recipe... When I was in US, the cuisine which has rice (other than Asian ones) is Mexican.. Love their beans and rice, cilantro rice etc.. Again this fajita is another dish that is part of their platter which is a elegant, simple and flavorful vegetables.. Be it burrito bowl or burrito or taco, veg fajita (pronounced as fa - hi - ta) is sure to be there.. Our favorite place was Chipotle where we used to relish burrito and taco and this fajita was so delicious and flavorful.. I surely miss them here in India (although I have so many other Indian options...). So I made them at home and we all relished it!! yummm...

So what is all in the platter? Tomato and Basil Tortillas, Cilantro Lime Rice, Veg Fajita, Sour Cream, Refried Beans, Corn Salsa and Cheddar Cheese

Spinach Roti / Spinach Tortillas / Bhaji Roti

Cilantro Lime Rice–Chipotle Style–Mexican Cuisine

When I went to US, most of the International food were breads in some form - burger, pizza, rolls, sandwich.. Of course there were Asian cuisines which were an exception.. There was also one more cuisine which had rice and I was excited to see rice being used.. When we went to the Mexican restaurant - Chipotle, we were invited with this very refreshing and very flavorful Cilantro Lime Rice.. Cilantro is coriander... I got this recipe from here and it was a delicious one..

Guacamole–Mexican Cuisine

Guacamole is a very easy Mexican dish which tastes best when served cold. It is served as a side to the chips, served as a part of the Mexican platter, sometimes served inside Burrito!! Basically it is everywhere in Mexican Cuisine. It is so interesting that it hardly takes any time, no cooking to do, but you have a great and tasty and healthy dish!! A dish that one cannot miss when talking about Mexican cuisine and I am including this for this month’s BM – Mexican Cuisine
