You know the scene: You’re in a Tex-Mex-ish sort of restaurant and someone at another table orders the fajitas. When that cast iron platter comes out, all steamy and sizzling, the waiter carrying it through the dining room might as well be a bottle-service girl with sparklers in the club because the effect is the same. Everyone has to turn their head and ooh and ahh and maybe kind of regret not getting fajitas themselves. Yet, as a vegetarian or vegan, you may find yourself looking down at the menu and dreading that conversation where you ask your server if you can “Get the fajitas but, no, not chicken or steak, in fact, no meat at all, just veggies, please?” But what if you could have really great vegetable fajitas yourself, any time, in your own home? Then you would never live a life regret or eye-rolls. You could have it all. And we are here to make this vision of a vegetable fajitas lifestyle your new reality.
