Stirring occasionally, cook until veggies are tender, about 6 minutes. Set aside.

These are really delicious made with the corn tortillas – if you like corn tortillas, which I do! The sauce makes it – avocado, cilantro, lime & salt. Perfect!

I LOVE these! Even though I am not a fan of bell peppers, I gave it a try. Very yummy. The mushrooms leave me feel like I’m having a steak fajita. After using the peppers the first time, I leave them out now…and dont miss them at all. I also use Fat Free/High Fiber flour tortillas instead of the corn tortillas. Really recommend these!!!

Terrific. Those corn tortillas were a huge calorie bargain at 40 calories a pop. I didn’t feel so guilty eating three of them and they were very filling too.

I thought it was a great idea to slice the large portabellas and add them to the peppers and onions. I usually grill portabellas and make a burger, but they tasted wonderful inside these vegetable tacos.

This dish is extra-delicious because it just TASTES so GUILT FREE.

I tried this recipe again by omiting the avocado (80 calories and replacing it with 3/4 a cup of Morningstar Meatless Sausage Crumbles (80 calories mixed in with a teaspoon of taco seasoning and – wow, it was so good! I loved it much, much more.
