Think of this as a fusion between fajitas and a stir-fry. The flavorful shrimp and vegetables are quickly cooked in a skillet and served up on warm corn tortillas.

ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1 red bell pepper
4 ounces button mushrooms
1 small zucchini
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground chili pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 corn tortillas

directions

Slice onion thinly. Chop garlic clove. Remove stem and seeds from red pepper, then slice into 1/2-inch wide, long slices. Slice mushrooms 1/2-inch thick.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the pan.

Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Add oregano, chili pepper, and cumin to the vegetables along with some salt and pepper. After 8-10 minutes of sauteing (pepper slices should be tender but slightly crisp) add zucchini and shrimp. Season with a bit more salt and pepper. Toss all ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

While cooking shrimp and vegetables, heat tortillas in microwave. Serve fajitas immediately with warm tortillas.

  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    While not really a traditional fajita (and technically, fajitas are only beef - it refers to the cut of beef) this was quite tasty! It was more like a stir-fry on tortillas but I enjoyed it. I loved the simplicity of it (no grilling involved!). The only thing I think I would have done differently would be to cut the zucchini in matchsticks instead of rounds (they'll fit on the tortillas better).
