The Perfect Veggie Fajitas

Why I love it

I don’t know about you, but I’m always craving some sizzlin’ hot fajitas. Who else loves ordering these in restaurants because they give you 2 large plates with everything you could ever want? Nothing beats it. I also love being able to make my own vegan tacos with the tortillas and the veggies. This version is my take on the classic veggie fajitas dish but it includes all my favorite sides and flavors. You can even serve this with some vegan sour cream if you’d like. I served this with 3 corn tortillas, and that’s a wrap!
