Outstanding

"I love fresh vegetables, but finding quality produce in the winter can be tough. This recipe uses four vegetables that are available nearly everywhere year-round. It's fast, easy, colorful, and tastes great." --CL Reader

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 fajita)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2  cups  julienne-cut zucchini
  • 2  cups  julienne-cut yellow squash
  • 2  cups  red bell pepper strips
  • 1 1/2  cups  vertically sliced red onion
  • 3  tablespoons  vegetable soup and dip mix (such as Lipton Recipe Secrets)
  • 4  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 8  (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1  (16-ounce) can fat-free refried beans
  • 2  cups  shredded leaf lettuce
  • 1  cup  (4 ounces) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1  cup  chopped tomato
  • 1/2  cup  bottled salsa

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Place first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add vegetable soup mix and oil to bag; seal and shake to coat. Remove vegetable mixture from bag; place in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes, stirring once.

Heat tortillas and beans according to package directions.

Spread 3 tablespoons beans over each tortilla, and top with 1/2 cup vegetable mixture and 1/4 cup lettuce. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons cheese, 2 tablespoons tomato, and 1 tablespoon salsa. Roll up.
