Vegetarian Fajitas are a flavorful, healthy twist on the classic fajita dish, featuring roasted vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, served in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings. Quick to make and customizable, these fajitas are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a fun, plant-based meal with friends and family.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium red onion, sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)

1 zucchini, sliced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for gluten-free)

Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream (or dairy-free alternative), fresh cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese (or vegan cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and toss the vegetables to coat evenly.

  3. Season: Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Toss again to coat with the seasonings.

  4. Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

  5. Warm the tortillas: While the vegetables roast, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.

  6. Assemble: Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the roasted vegetables in the warm tortillas.

  7. Top and serve: Add your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or shredded cheese.

Notes

  • Add Protein: For extra protein, you can add black beans, pinto beans, or sautéed tempeh to the fajitas.

  • Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños to the roasted veggies for extra heat or drizzle with hot sauce.

  • Different Veggies: You can swap the zucchini for eggplant, sweet potatoes, or corn for more variety.
