Ingredients

6 flour tortillas

Vegetables

2 green bell peppers, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium-sized yellow or red onion, sliced
1 Tablespoon oil

Fajita Seasoning

2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp (each) garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper
pinch of cayenne (adjust for more spice)

Simple Guacamole

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ripe avocados
1 lime
salt to taste

Black Beans

1 14 oz. can black beans you can do with the juices or rinse and drain them and add several tablespoons of water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F.
Roast peppers & onions: arrange sliced peppers and onions on sheet pan, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Toss until veggies are evenly coated, then spread out on the pan and bake for 20 minutes - flip halfway through.
Cook black beans: in a sauce pan, simmer black beans on LOW with salt and garlic powder for 8-10 minutes. Black beans should thicken and liquid should slightly reduce.
Guacamole: In a small bowl use a fork to smash the avocado, then stir in garlic powder, lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
Warm up tortillas: wrap tortillas in a foil packet and pop in oven for 5 minutes, or microwave tortillas on glass plate for 15 seconds. If you have a grill, you can also grill the tortillas for 10-15 seconds on each side.
Assemble: When peppers & onions are finished, assemble fajitas: roasted peppers & onions, black beans, guacamole, and extra lime juice! Serve with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

Notes

Serve on the side: These fajitas go great with a side of rice or quinoa! We also love serving them with chips, salsa, or cheesy queso. You can also pair it with a some greens such as this vegetarian taco salad!
