Romantic Dinner For Two
A few nights ago I made raw fajitas for dinner for J and I. I love this meal! I need to make it more often. Mexican flavored marinated veggies in lettuce wraps with sour "cream", fresh salsa, guacamole, and cheddar cheeze sauce. Yumm! If you like mexican and want a filling yet refreshing and light meal then give these a try.
Don't be deterred by all the different components in this recipe. Here are my tips and tricks to make it a success.
* I make a enough servings to feed two people for 2-3 meals each.
* I make a huge batch of fresh salsa to be eaten with raw crackers, or by the spoonful, and in my salads for days to come.
* I love using big romaine lettuce leaves as the wraps. They're super easy to prep. You can use collard greens if you like.
* The other option is to pick and choose different parts of the full recipe if you're short on time. Sometimes I make the cheddar cheeze sauce to drizzle on top... other times I make the sour kream instead.
* If you're low on time use avocado slices instead of making guacamole!
* To make the wraps heartier, add a protein like cooked ground beef (I add it now that I'm not a vegan anymore), or beans, or tempeh crumbles if you eat it.

Yummy! I must try!
Thanks! Yes the cheddar sauce is def addictive! I like it with raw veggies, as a creamy salad dressing, or on crackers.
love this meal :) cheezy sauces make salads amazing
Yummy meal! I love cheesy sauces! That sour cream looks like a winner!
I love fajitas but have not had the raw variety before. I need to try it!
Pure Glow and Vicky - Yup and yup= cheezey sauce makes everything better! lol. <br /><br />April - they're so easy to throw together! You'll love them.
what a gorgeous looking spread!<br /><br />My favorite dinner is anything you'd want to make :)
That is such a romantic raw dinner. My hubby isn't really into the raw thing, but he'll eat some kind of Mexican food, while I have my version (not always raw, but I stick to meat-free; he doesn't). The main thing is that we are together :-)<br /><br />Oh, and I've always loved your version of raw fajitas.
Thanks Averie! Right back atchya!<br /><br />Yeah I agree Shannon - you can enjoy each others company which is what meal time is for. Fortunately J loves whatever I made - raw or not. He usually adds an extra something for himself like potato, or rice which is fine by me.
