    Veggie Fajitas with Guacamole

    PREP: 30 minutes GRILL: 20 minutes MAKES 6 servings

    3 medium red, yellow and/or green sweet peppers, sliced

    1 large onion, sliced

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    2 teaspoons fajita seasoning

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    1 8-ounce package fresh button mushrooms, halved

    1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1⁄2 -inch slices

    6 8-inch flour tortillas

    1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

    1 recipe Easy Guacamole

    Snipped fresh cilantro (optional)

    Salsa (optional)

    Sour cream (optional)

    1 Fold a 36×18-inch piece of heavy foil in half crosswise. Place sweet peppers and onion in the center of the foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the fajita seasoning and the garlic. Bring up the opposite edges of the foil; seal with a double fold. Fold in remaining edges, leaving space for steam to build. Set aside.

    2 Fold another 36×18-inch piece of heavy foil in half crosswise. Place mushrooms and zucchini in the center of the foil. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of the fajita seasoning. Bring up the opposite edges of the foil; seal with a double fold. Fold in remaining edges, leaving space for steam to build. Wrap tortillas in foil.

    3 For a charcoal grill, grill the sweet pepper-onion packet on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals about 20 minutes or until tender, turning once halfway through grilling. Add the mushroom-zucchini packet and tortillas about halfway through grilling. Grill about 10 minutes or until mushrooms and zucchini are tender and tortillas are heated through, turning halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place sweet pepper-onion packet on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above. Add mushroom-zucchini packet and tortillas. Cover and grill as above.)

    4 Serve contents of packets with tortillas, cheese, and Easy Guacamole. If desired, top with cilantro, salsa, and sour cream.
