Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 8 ounces Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 10 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Lime wedges
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips. Slice the mushrooms into even slices.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spice blend.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Add the sliced vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to toast and flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and toss the vegetables with fresh chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve the fajita vegetables in large romaine lettuce leaves as a low-carb tortilla alternative. Add a squeeze of lime juice over the top for extra flavor.
Enjoy immediately, either as-is or with your favorite low-carb toppings like avocado slices, salsa, or dairy-free sour cream.
