FAJITA-FILLING ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Special equipment: a medium slow cooker (4 quarts) Place the onions in the bottom of the slow cooker insert and toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to coat. Sprinkle the cumin, smoked and sweet paprika, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt on top of the onions and toss to coat the onions evenly. Lay the sliced peppers on top of the onions. Finally, top the peppers with the minced garlic and remaining salt and olive oil, tossing the pepper slices gently to coat.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 4 hours (for firmer veggies) or 4 to 6 hours (for softer, soupier veggies), stirring once about an hour before the cooking time is completed. It may also be cooked on high for 1 to 2 hours (firmer) or 2 to 3 hours (softer). Stir in the lime juice just before serving.

FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers and sliced onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without stirring, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Toss the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder; season generously with salt. Scatter over the roasted vegetables and broil until the fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir the cilantro into the beans and divide among plates. Serve with the fish, roasted vegetables, tortillas, guacamole and lime wedges.
