Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and core the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Slice them into thin, even strips.

Step 2

Peel the red onion, cut it in half, and slice into thin strips.

Step 3

Wash the zucchini and slice into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to slightly char and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

While the vegetables are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, pour the seasoning mixture over the veggies. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or as a filling for tacos and fajitas.
