Robb's Vegetable Fajitas

Vegetables: Note: You can buy the frozen stir fry vege mixes if you like and just add fresh onions.

OR you can Cut Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Carrots on #3, 4 or 5 blade (your choice).
Add broccoli, red onion, and red, orange, and green bell peppers.

For Fajitas for 2-4 people, rinse and place veges in your 9" or 2 qt on medium heat until Vapo-valve clicks steady. While your waiting on the veges you can mix up the quick Marinaide... Mix about 3-4 tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce and just a little bit of Olive oil. Add garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, crushed red pepper, and lime juice. (add spices based on your preference, you can experiment and see how spicy you like it.)

When veges click, then place marinaide in a larger 11" skillet or 10" gourmet skillet and put the Maranainde in just over medium heat until it starts sizzling. As soon as it starts to sizzle add veges and stir for a few min like a stir fry.

Remove from heat and serve with Pico, red leaf lettuce and salsa in a whole wheat tortilla.

If you want more servings you can use the Elect Skillet, 11" skillet or a Wok for the first part of cooking the veges and then just pour the marinade into the bottom and stir after the veges are cooked. If you want to add meat, just cook your meat first and add to veges after they click just before you pour in the marinaide.
