Ingredients

• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Lime
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and preparing the vegetables. Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion into thin strips as well. Cut the zucchini into thin half-moons.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and zucchini to the pan. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a bit of crunch.

Step 4

While the vegetables are cooking, juice the lime into a small bowl. Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt to the lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 5

Pour the lime and spice mixture over the veggies in the pan. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to soak into the vegetables and the lime juice to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Remove the pan from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the cooked fajita veggies.

Step 8

Serve immediately while piping hot. These sizzling fajita vegetables make a great filling for tacos, burritos, or as a delightful side dish.
