Grilled Vegetable Fajitas
Ingredients:
– 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
– 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced
– 1 red onion, sliced
– 1 zucchini, sliced
– 1 yellow squash, sliced
– 8-10 small flour tortillas
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, salsa, sour cream
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and yellow squash into uniform pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly on the grill.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
3. Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill, using a grilling basket or skewers for smaller pieces to prevent them from falling through the grates. Grill the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
4. While the vegetables are cooking, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Keep them warm by wrapping them in aluminum foil or a clean kitchen towel.
5. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and assemble the fajitas. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of grilled vegetables and add any desired toppings such as sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, salsa, or sour cream.
6. Roll up the tortillas, tucking in the ends to create a neat package. Serve the Grilled Vegetable Fajitas hot off the grill and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
