Ingredients

• 3 large Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 8 ounces Mushrooms (baby bella or button)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Lime
• 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 large Avocado (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Vegan sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and slice the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into thin strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms into thick pieces.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to make a marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced vegetables to the bowl with the marinade and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated vegetables to the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the vegetables cook, warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet, or wrap them in foil and heat in a low oven (around 250°F or 120°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are cooked, squeeze the juice of one lime over them and stir to combine.

Step 7

Assemble the fajitas by placing a generous portion of the cooked vegetables onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or a dollop of vegan sour cream, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Yummy Vegan Fajitas!
