- 3 capsicums (bell peppers)  different colours, sliced into strips
- 3 portobello mushroom or 8-10 button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ lime
- handful of fresh coriander, chopped. (Approx 1/4 cup once chopped)
- To season, toss the sliced capsicum, onions, mushrooms and minced garlic in the spice mix (excluding coriander) 
-  Heat a non-stick pan or grill on high 
-  Add seasoned vegetables to a hot pan or grill and allow to dry-fry for three minutes before tossing. (Add a dash of liquid vege stock if needed, however too much liquid will prevent the charring of vegetables) 
- Cook until a slight charring appears on the onion and capsicum to get that fajita-style chargrilled flavour 
- .Remove from heat. Toss through chopped corriander and squeeze over half a lime. 
- Give it a try and adjust the spice mix to your tasting. Smoked Chipotle powder also adds a great fajita flavour, or you can choose your favourite taco or fajita pre-mix seasoning for a quick alternative.
