Also known as: a great big pot of family fun awesomeness! (side note: ‘awesomeness’ is no longer rejected by Spellcheck! Apparently it’s a real word now! Hurray!)
When my family and I get together, Fajitas are almost always involved. They’re so festive and fun, the kids love them, and they guarantee silence for twenty minutes or so while everyone munches down. 😉
Vegan Fajitas are also incredibly simple to make, which means you and your sister can simultaneously make Margaritas! Olé!
Sizzling Veg Fajitas with Cashew Queso!
Ingredients
- Fresh chopped veggies of your choice be as creative as you like - we usually favour red capsicum, red onion, fresh organic corn cut from the cob, mushrooms and fresh coriander/cilantro
- Corn Tortillas
Instructions
- In a large fry pan or skillet, sizzle up the 'hard' veggies of your choice.
- Add the mushrooms and coriander (and any other ‘delicate’ veggies) to the pan later on, so they don’t shrink too much.
- Once the veggies are almost cooked, add a Mexican Fajita seasoning packet or a few teaspoons of spice mix and stir in well.
- SERVE with colourful bowls of salsa, guacamole, cashew queso, and warmed tortillas, and let everyone roll their own.
This queso is also delicious as a dip or served on vegan nachos or any other Tex-Mex dishes you come up with! Enjoy!

- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 2 tsp chilli powder optional
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Blend all Queso ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
YUM! I never really like nacho cheese but for some reason this vegan version looks delicious. I am finding that more and more though- even if I didn’t like the non-vegan version, the vegan version is AMAZING. Just goes to show ya eh? Meant to be 🙂
haha, so true – I find that too! Hurray for vegan delights! 🙂
It all looks delicious especially with the vegan cheese.
It’s my all-time favourite meal! Give it a try – it’s scrumptious! 🙂
I have never made cashew “cheese” but this just might be the recipe that inspires me!
I’ve only made it a few times and am still experimenting, but it’s heaps of fun and delicious! You should definitely try it! I’m going to be brave and try a sweet version next! Stay tuned… 😉
Wow that cashew queso looks and sounds decadent! Definitely looks like a good dip – especially if served with raw chopped veggies for dipping… mmm
mmmmmm, that would be scrumptious!! 🙂
I have yet to make any type of nut cheese but I loved queso before being vegan so I’m eager to give this a try!
Definitely do! This version is quite sweet, so feel free to get creative with the spices! 🙂
Yum sounds like a great idea! I love fajitas.
