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
Directions
Step 1
Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Step 2
Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips. Slice the mushrooms into even slices.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spice blend.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Step 5
Add the sliced vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and toss the vegetables with fresh chopped cilantro, if using.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy immediately, either as-is or with your favorite low-carb toppings like avocado slices, salsa, or dairy-free sour cream.
