Wash and prepare all vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into thin strips. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and slice them thinly as well.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, allowing it to heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced vegetables (bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms) to the pan. Stir frequently and cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the vegetables, along with the minced garlic. Stir well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the spices bloom and coat the veggies.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low flame on a stovetop for about 20 seconds on each side, turning with tongs to prevent burning.
Fill each tortilla with the cooked vegetables and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or your favorite dairy-free toppings like guacamole or salsa if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free vegetable fajitas!
