Rainbow Vegetable Fajitas

Tender-crisp pan fried strips of fresh vegetables heaped into fresh homemade tortillas.

Have you heard that we should eat the rainbow? I’m sure you know that I’m not referring to leprechauns and lucky charms. The rainbow I’m referring to are fresh fruits and vegetables. The more vibrant and deep the color, the more nutrients and antioxidants. So, these rainbow fajitas are just the thing. Soft homemade flour tortillas are filled with lightly seasoned bell peppers, onions, zucchini, summer squash, and mushrooms. These fresh pockets of color just might make you feel over the rainbow lucky.

Just look at that gorgeous rainbow on the cutting board. Yellow, orange, red, purple, and green. Fresh vegetables can be so beautiful. And they’re so good for us, too. I love it when my food looks pretty. Actually, I think we need to take a moment to simply gawk at this cutting board. No judgement here.

Notes

I highly recommend you make my soft flour tortillas. They don’t contain any sodium and have very little oil. They’re the perfect carrier for these rainbow fajitas. Click here for the recipe. If you follow a gluten-free diet, simply use your favorite gluten-free tortillas. Of course, if you prefer to omit the tortillas, this makes one delicious Rainbow Fajita Bowl!! We have done this many many times. Your options are limitless.

I served these rainbow fajitas with my instant pot refried beans. They are super easy and can be made in advance. Plus, these refried beans are packed with a nice smoky chipotle flavor without any oil or salt. Click here for the recipe.
