Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Mushrooms (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 8 small Gluten-free tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 medium Avocado (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Core and slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin slices. Slice the zucchini into thin half-moons. If using mushrooms, clean and slice them as well.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create your fajita seasoning blend.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the zucchini and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning blend over the vegetables and stir to ensure they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance the flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the vegetables with fresh lime juice.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by adding a generous portion of the seasoned vegetables to each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and salsa if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free vegetable fajitas!
