INSTRUCTIONS

For the Chorizo: Combine Longève crumbles and ¾ cup hot water in a small bowl. Let stand to rehydrate for 5 minutes. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add rehydrated crumbles and minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until mixture is golden brown, about 2 – 3 minutes.
Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Cook for another minute or two. Add the apple cider vinegar and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, mixing well to incorporate. Remove from heat and reserve.
For the Veggies: Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over a high flame until very hot. Add red and green peppers and cook, stirring occasionally until blistered in spots. Add a small drizzle of oil and continue to cook for another minute or two until peppers are crisp-tender. Season lightly with salt and turn out onto a baking tray to keep warm. Working in batches, cook the onion and zucchini until all are cooked. Return veggies to skillet, add chorizo and mix well to combine and heat through.
To assemble the fajitas: Heat tortillas gently in a dry skillet or in the microwave and fill with the veggie-chorizo mixture, and top with whatever you choose, including salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
