Veggie Fajita Zoodles

Looking for an easy and quick family-friendly veggie meal? Give these Veggie Fajita Zoodles a try! This fresh take on fajita noodles is fully loaded with bell pepper, sweet onion, mushrooms, and zucchini noodles, aka zoodles. No wheat, no gluten, no regret. Just a fast and healthy dinner idea for hungry, busy people. 

This one-pan dish is infused with flavorful cumin, chipotle and chili powder. I like to serve these fajita zoodles with a batch of homemade guacamole and lime wedges for squeezing over. Why choose between Tex-Mex and low-carb when you don’t have to? This is a perfect weeknight dinner. Healthy, colorful, and beyond good. Enjoy!
