Vegetarian Fajitas

Vegetarian Fajitas

These fajitas are a wonderful flavor explosion in your mouth. Even my family doesn't complain about the lack of meat. No meat and no dairy make them a perfect meal for a Daniel Fast or during Lent, and they're something new to do with all of that zucchini from the garden.
