Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Fajitas
- 8 flour tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Avocado
- Salsa

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly at a high temperature.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms ensuring all are uniformly cut for even roasting.
- Season Vegetables: Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for maximum roasting and caramelization.
- Roast Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
- Warm Tortillas: While vegetables roast, warm the flour tortillas either in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or in the microwave wrapped in a damp cloth for about 15 seconds.
- Assemble Fajitas: Lay the warm tortillas flat and spoon the roasted vegetables evenly onto each tortilla as the filling.
- Add Toppings: Customize your fajitas with optional toppings like sliced avocado, fresh salsa, and chopped cilantro to add creaminess, zest, and fragrance.

- For gluten-free options, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or lettuce wraps.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or asparagus for variety.
- These fajitas can be served with a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
