Ingredients

For the fajitas

• 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 yellow squash, halved and sliced into strips
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Warm the Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven. Turn the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a 10-inch skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, red and green bell peppers, and minced garlic, stirring to coat in oil. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes.

   🔥 Tip: If you like a little kick, consider adding some sliced jalapeños to the mix!

3. Add the Squash: Stir in the yellow squash and continue cooking along with salsa, cumin, and salt. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4. Assemble the Fajitas: Spoon the warm vegetable mixture evenly down the centers of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and fresh cilantro. Roll them up tightly to secure the filling.

5. Serve & Enjoy: These fajitas are delicious served hot! Pair with guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite hot sauce for added flavor.

Variations

• Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the veggie mixture for a spicy kick! 🌶️
• Grilled: For a smoky flavor, grill the vegetables instead of sautéing them. Just brush with oil and season before grilling.
• Protein-Packed: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or black beans to boost protein content and make it more hearty.
• Gluten-free: Swap out flour tortillas for corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for a lighter option.

Enjoy your colorful and delicious fajitas! 🌟
