| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by spraying a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. |
| 2 | Next, prepare your vegetables by slicing the zucchini, green pepper, and onion into thin strips. Drain and rinse the black beans. |
| 3 | In a bowl, mix together the sliced vegetables, black beans, and salsa until well combined. Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasoning. |
| 4 | Heat the skillet over medium to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s sufficiently warm before proceeding. |
| 5 | Spoon approximately ยฝ cup of the vegetable mixture onto one of the flour tortillas, spreading it evenly over the surface. |
| 6 | Sprinkle a generous portion of both shredded cheddar and jalapeno jack cheese on top of the vegetable mixture, then cover it with another tortilla to create a fajita “sandwich.” |
| 7 | Carefully transfer the assembled fajita to the preheated skillet, allowing it to cook for 1 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Be sure to flip it halfway through to ensure even cooking. |
| 8 | Once the fajita is cooked to your desired level of crispiness and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate. |
| 9 | Garnish your fajita with additional salsa and a dollop of sour cream, if desired, before serving. |
| 10 | Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and vegetable mixture until all fajitas are assembled and cooked. |
| 11 | Serve your Quick Vegetable Fajitas hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with each delightful bite! |
Tips:
- Customize your fajitas by adding your favorite toppings such as guacamole, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce.

- If you prefer a vegan version, simply omit the cheese or substitute it with your favorite dairy-free alternative.
- These fajitas can also be enjoyed as part of a larger meal alongside rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
