20 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
21 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

→ To Serve

23 - 8 small flour or corn tortillas, gluten-free if needed
24 - 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
25 - 1 lime, cut into wedges

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced bell peppers, onion, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and drained chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and add all fajita seasoning ingredients. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the vegetable and chickpea mixture in an even layer across the prepared sheet pan.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Vegetables should become tender with caramelized edges.
05 - While vegetables roast, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Fold in Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salt until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
06 - Heat tortillas according to package directions until pliable and warm.
07 - Fill each tortilla with roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Generously drizzle with guacamole yogurt sauce. Top with fresh cilantro leaves and an additional squeeze of lime juice if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor from caramelized veggies.
  • The guac yogurt drizzle is creamy without being heavy, and it ties all those roasted vegetables together perfectly.
  • It's naturally high in fiber and protein, so you actually feel satisfied, not just full.
  • You can customize the vegetables based on what's in your crisper drawer without changing the technique at all.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—it's the difference between perfectly caramelized vegetables and some pieces that steam instead of roast.
  • Make the guac yogurt drizzle just before serving because the avocado will start to brown if it sits too long, even with lime juice protecting it.
  • If your avocado is hard, don't force it; a hard avocado in the drizzle creates lumps that ruin the whole effect.
03 -
  • If you're making this for a crowd, prepare all your vegetables the night before and store them in containers—then assembly becomes truly effortless.
  • The seasoning blend is strong enough that you don't need any additional salsa or hot sauce, but a squeeze of fresh lime right before eating makes everything taste brighter and more alive.
