Back to recipe

Ingredients

For the homemade fajita seasoning:

  • 1 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the fajitas:

  • 1 eggplant (approximately 1 pound), cut into ½-inch dice
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and cut into thin slices
  • 1 yellow squash, cut in half lengthwise and cut into thin slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips
  • 1 red onion, cut into ½-inch thick slices
  • 1-2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store bought or recipe above)
  • 2 garlic cloves, pasted
  • 12 flour tortillas

Garnish options:

  • Avocado
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Salsa
  • Hot sauce
  • 2 cups warm, cooked brown rice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Spray a foil- or parchment-lined baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, mix the fajita seasoning ingredients until thoroughly combined. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the eggplant with the oil to coat. Add the zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper and onion. Gently toss with your hands to mix well.
  4. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons fajita seasoning over vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Pour the mixture on to the prepared pan making sure vegetables are spread evenly. Roast uncovered in oven, stirring once or twice until the vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes. For the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the garlic over the veggies.
  6. To warm the tortillas, use a large sauté pan over medium heat. One at a time, heat the tortillas in the hot pan on each side until softened, about 20 seconds per side. Place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  7. Place tortilla on a plate and spread veggies down the middle of the tortilla. Top with garnishes of your choosing.
