Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ zucchini
- ½ bell pepper, red
- ¼ cup corn
- 1 tbsp fajita spice mix (or 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika and ¼ tsp salt)
- â…› cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Microwave the large potato for nine minutes. A medium potato needs seven minutes and a small potato needs five minutes. To add extra potatoes allow an extra four minutes for a large potato, three minutes for a medium potato and two minutes for a small potato. This is using a 1000w microwave – adjust for slightly longer or shorter if yours is a higher or lower power. Don't forget to pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times.
- Chop the zucchini and bell pepper into small pieces and fry in oil for about six minutes.
- While frying add the spices (or the fajita spice mix) and â…› cup water to the veg. Give it a good stir and add the corn for the last minute or so.
- When ready, slice a deep groove through the middle of the potato in both directions. Repeat the process diagonally.
- Season the potato with salt and pepper.
- Pour the veggie medley over the potato.
- Enjoy!
NOTES
Serve with a little low fat sour cream or creme fraiche if you like. Skyr is also fantastic, if available.
