Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly.
Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms, preparing them for seasoning.
Season the Vegetables: Drizzle in the olive oil, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasoning.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly without steaming.
Roast Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Warm Tortillas: While the vegetables roast, warm your flour tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds.
Assemble Fajitas: Lay the warm tortillas flat and spoon the roasted vegetables evenly onto each one to start building your fajitas.
Add Optional Toppings: Customize your fajitas with optional toppings such as slices of creamy avocado, fresh salsa, and chopped cilantro for added flavor and freshness before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or lettuce wraps.
You can customize the vegetables to your preference — bell peppers and onions are classic, but feel free to add sliced jalapeños or corn.
To add protein, consider serving with grilled chicken, steak, or beans.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you prefer spicier fajitas, add cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to the seasoning mix.
