- 2 sliced bell peppers, I used a red and orange one
- 1 jalapeño thinly sliced

Fresh organic cilantro from my garden
Directions
Warm up the grill on medium heat
- Place the sliced veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms) into a grill pan and season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
- Put the seasoned corn on the grill, turning after a few minutes.
- Cook the veggies and corn until softened, approximately 10-15 minutes on medium heat turning frequently.
- Take the veggies off the heat and place on the side.
- Put 6-8 small tortillas on the heat and flip over when warmed, stack on a plate and cover to keep warm and soft.
- Carefully cut the corn kernels off of the corn and add into the other veggies.
- Assemble the fajitas: Scoop the grilled veggies into the warm tortilla. Place a dollop of guacamole on top then garnish with a splash of lime, jalepeño, cilantro, salsa, black beans, pour-able vegan cheeze or any combination of toppings of your choice.
- Serve warm.
