Pancake Fajitas Directions:
-
Prepare Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, egg whites, and olive oil. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
-
Prepare the Fajita Filling: While the pancakes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 more minutes.
-
Season the Filling: Stir in the black beans, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Assemble the Fajitas: Place a pancake on a plate and spoon a portion of the vegetable and bean filling into the center. Fold the pancake over the filling to create a wrap.
-
Add Toppings: Top each fajita with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
