Ingredients
  

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 fresh lime

6 small flour or corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Sliced avocado or guacamole (optional)

Sour cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice until well blended. This will create a flavorful marinade that enhances the veggies.

    Marinate the Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and mushrooms to the marinade. Gently toss the vegetables until they are thoroughly coated in the mixture. For the best flavor infusion, allow the veggies to marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

      Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If you opt for a grill pan, place it over medium-high heat on the stovetop until hot.

        Grill the Vegetables: Once the grill is hot, arrange the marinated vegetables directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket to prevent them from falling through. Grill for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have developed appetizing grill marks.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the vegetables are grilling, place the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side to warm them. Alternatively, wrap them in aluminum foil and place on the grill away from direct heat until they are heated through.

            Assemble the Fajitas: Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly. Take a warm tortilla, fill it generously with the vibrant grilled veggie mixture, and top with fresh cilantro and avocado slices or a scoop of guacamole if desired.

              Serve: Serve the fajitas immediately with a dollop of sour cream, extra lime wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on the side for added freshness. Dive into your colorful and delectable veggie fajitas!
