Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 | Flour tortillas |
| 1 1/2 tbsp | Canola oil |
| 1 | Green pepper |
| 1 | Zucchini |
| 2 | Onion |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Salsa |
| 1/4 cup | Reduced-fat sour cream |
Instructions
- Begin by heating the flour tortillas according to the package instructions, ensuring they are warm and pliable for easy rolling.
- While the tortillas are warming, take a large non-stick skillet and heat the canola oil over medium-high heat, allowing it to become hot but not smoking.
- Once the oil is ready, add the chopped green pepper, sliced zucchini, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender and have developed a slightly browned exterior, which enhances their flavor.
- Season the sautéed vegetables with salt to taste, mixing well to incorporate the seasoning evenly throughout.
- In a small bowl, combine the salsa and reduced-fat sour cream, mixing until well blended. This mixture will serve as a zesty topping for the fajitas.
- To assemble the fajitas, take each warm tortilla and top it equally with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Drizzle the salsa and sour cream blend over the top, adding as much or as little as you prefer.
- Carefully roll up each tortilla, enclosing the flavorful filling, and if desired, you can secure them with a toothpick to keep everything together.
- Alternatively, for a more interactive experience, you can place all the ingredients in the center of the table and allow everyone to customize their own fajitas to their liking.
- Once assembled, enjoy your delicious Bell Pepper-Zucchini Fajitas, savoring the vibrant flavors and the satisfaction of a quick and healthy meal.
