Easy Plant-Based Veggie Fajitas

Easy Plant-Based Veggie Fajitas showcase a mix of marinated bell peppers, onions, zucchini, garlic, and jalapeños grilled to tender crispness. The marinade combines lime juice, oregano, cumin, and chili powder, imparting light citrus and earthy spices to the vegetables. Cooking the tomatoes only briefly keeps their texture fresh and juicy. Wrapped in warm flour tortillas, these fajitas offer a colorful medley of flavors and textures suitable as a satisfying plant-based meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

  • lime juice juice from 2 limes
  • 2 to 4 Tablespoons of oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon cumin dried
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped, fresh
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion cut into wedges
  • 2 bell pepper cut into strips (any color
  • 2 zucchini halved and cut into strips, small
  • 4 garlic missed, cloves
  • 1 jalapeño cut into thin strips

  • 8 to 12 flour tortillas fajita style

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the marinade, in a small bowl, combine and stir together the juice of limes, oil, spices, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Combine the onion, bell peppers, zucchini, garlic, and jalapenos in a bowl, add marinade, and mix well. You can use your hands for this. You don't need to let the marinade sit with the veggies.
  3. Grill the vegetables in a large skillet on medium-high heat and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender. Add tomatoes at the last minute so that they are lightly cooked.
  4. Lightly toast tortillas over medium heat and place grilled vegetables in them.

Notes

  • You can tailor the lime juice to your taste, using less for milder citrus flavor.
  • Add more jalapeños or chili powder if you prefer a spicier dish.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables; keeping them crisp-tender enhances the fajita experience.
