ARE FAJITAS HEALTHY?

Fajitas ordered from a restaurant are often packed with extra fat, sodium, and calories and are not always the healthiest choice. Craving fajitas? You can make this delicious dish at home for a healthy meal that you can feel good about. 

Simple substitutions can help you make regular foods, like fajitas, more nutritious and lower in calories and fat. Here are some tips for making healthy fajitas: 

  • Use small tortillas and fill them full of veggies. Corn tortillas and whole-wheat tortillas are the best choice, or just use lettuce wraps. I also like to use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice on the side. 
  • Choose healthier fats. Cook your fajita vegetables in the least amount of fat possible. This recipe only uses 1 tablespoon of olive oil- which is a healthy unsaturated fat. 
  • Load up on veggies. This recipe is delicious because it combines the traditional fajita veggies onion and bell peppers with zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms. Add your favorite toppings for even more veggies- lettuce, salsa, tomatoes, jalapenos, green onions, olives, cilantro, corn, and more.

This oven roasted fajita vegetables recipe below is a perfect example of healthy fajitas, it’s loaded with healthy vegetables, low in calories, and seasoned to perfection without using extra fat and oil. Add your favorite toppings for a perfectly balanced, healthy, and nutritious meal.

Oven Roasted Fajita Vegetables
Ingredients:
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow zucchini squash, sliced
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning (or a 1 oz packet of taco seasoning)
1 tablespoon olive oil

 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 15x10x1″ jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Place all the vegetables on the foil in a single layer. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and then sprinkle the taco seasoning on top. Give the vegetables a quick mix until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning (I just used my hands- I found that it was easier than anything else I tried). Bake the vegetables uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring once about half way through.
 
These vegetables make an awesome side dish or even main dish. You can also throw them on a whole wheat tortilla for an awesome meal. You can also mix it into a delicious rice bowl with your favorite toppings, or even as a lettuce wrap.

    • Hi Pamela! Great question! We make this for our family of 5 (3 young kids) and usually have about 1/2 – 1/3 of a pan left over. I guess that means you multiply everything by about 4! Also – you might try lining a cooking sheet with aluminum foil and then cooking as directed (a little bit bigger surface area!). Thanks so much for asking and following Tone and Tighten!
