This was a huge success with my family. Minimal added fat and they didn’t even notice! I made the whole wheat tortillas from scratch which I will post at a later date. Very easy and quick meal if the tortillas are already prepared. This is a modified recipe from allrecipes.com
Vegan Fajitas
Prep time: 20 mins; Cook time: ~30 mins; Ready in 1 hr 50 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Dash cayenne
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup veggie broth or wine
- 1 small carrot, sliced
- 2 medium small yellow squash, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 (8.75 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
Serve in warmed 8 inch flour tortillas.
Directions
- In a large bowl combine marinade ingredients. To the marinade add the carrot, yellow squash, onion, green pepper and red pepper. Marinate vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 24 hours.
- Heat broth or wine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. I like to just use a minimal amount and add as needed. You don’t want the veggies too ‘wet’. Saute veggies until tender, about 15 to 25 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the corn and beans. Heat through and serve in warm tortillas.
One word of warning. This was a bit spicy. I like it but my mouth was tingling but I can’t tolerate a lot of spice even though I love it. Maybe I dashed the Cayenne at bit too much.

I took a picture but it sucks so I’ll include it anyway and my lovely husband making fun of me 
Let me know how you like it or if you have any suggestions!
