Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the red onion in half and then slice into thin half-moons. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Clean and slice the button mushrooms.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Reduce heat to low and add the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, cut the avocado into small cubes.
Warm the low-carb tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat and spoon an equal amount of the vegetable mixture onto each. Top with avocado and a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. Serve immediately.
