- Hi, I'm Marlon Doll, the Bachelor on a Budget.
Today we are making the most Bachelor on a Budget meal
you can make, vegetarian fajitas.
Now, my roommate makes this five times a week
and he doesn't get sick of it
so I think you're really gonna love my recipe
so stay tuned to the end,
we're gonna make about eight awesome servings
for less than a $1.50 per.
Let's get started.
(two note jingle)
First we want to bring a large pan to medium high,
I've got the biggest, flattest one I have.
Once that is nice and hot we're gonna go in
with a couple tablespoons of oil,
you can use whatever kind of vegetable oil you have.
Once that's nice and hot, I'm going in with two cups
of onions, you can use red or white
and we want to hear a nice sizzle in there.
Because of the sheer amount of ingredients
I'm cooking in this pan, I'm gonna crank
the heat up just a bit and we just want those onions
to get soft and brown a little bit.
Those peppers have started to brown,
so next we're gonna go in with our bell peppers.
I got three bell peppers here, sliced.
As always you can find the recipe in the description below.
We're just gonna add all of these
and mix that all around.
Look at that color.
I still have this on pretty high heat
because there's so much ingredients in this pan
because I wanna make a lot of servings for leftovers
that if it's not hot enough, you're just gonna kind of steam
and not really get that nice browning on the vegetables.
Next I have three cloves of garlic,
add that nice and minced,
mix that all around.
Now, go ahead and bring your oven to the lowest setting
that you have, that's 170 degrees for me.
We're just trying to heat up our tortillas.
Then we have one drained can of red kidney beans,
that's 400 milliliters,
that's a bit of extra protein there,
for our vegetarian quesadillas.
If you have the setting as high as I do,
make sure you stick by it and keep moving it around
otherwise lower it down to medium-high
and you'll still get some great fajitas.
Now, we're gonna get our spices in here
so I have one tablespoon of salt,
one tablespoon of smoked paprika,
you can use regular paprika or Hungarian paprika,
one tablespoon of chili powder,
one tablespoon of garlic powder
and one tablespoon of cumin.
Mix that all around.
Then I have about six mushrooms here, chopped,
it's about two cups.
If anything's sticking to the bottom,
you can add a bit of vegetarian stock,
or wine, or even a bit of water.
I just added a tablespoon of water,
also helps soften those beans up a bit
and for some delicious extra flavor and nutrients,
I have one cup of frozen corn that I'm gonna add.
And don't worry about precise measurements,
if you wanna add two cups of corn, you totally can
or you can leave it out, it's up to you.
And our base is done.
Smells so good.
You can turn the heat off for that.
Now I've got my tortillas in some aluminum foil
and we'll just stick that in the oven
for about 10 minutes just to warm up.
While that is cooking, I'll prep some optional
but delicious garnish, I've got some cilantro here
and you just wash it, bunch it up
and you can totally use the stems,
the stems actually have more flavor than the leaves.
Don't chop your fingers off, of course.
They add a nice freshness to it,
unless you have the gene where it makes it taste like soap,
then it's no good.
(upbeat music)
Our tortillas are done
and we are ready to serve.
I like to do it buffet style, so grab my tortilla,
plop on the fajita mix,
bit of cilantro over top,
some avocado,
squeeze of fresh lime,
a bit of sour cream or yogurt, I'm using yogurt.
If you're a vegan, avoid this.
Obviously.
And a bit of salsa.
And we are done.
Look at this delicious finished result
for under $1.50 per serving, these are solid.
Can I get a designated plate holder over here?
Thank you.
Okay, take the sides and tuck them in,
then the ends, roll it,
and voila.
Delicious.
Mmmm, look at that deliciousness.
Now, those garnishes weren't all necessary
but if you include those as well,
I know it's a bit of extra work and a bit of extra cost
but you're gonna make the best fajita
you've ever had in your life.
