# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Vibrant and nutrient-dense with a variety of colorful vegetables.
  • Easy cleanup thanks to the one-pan roasting method.
  • High in fiber and vegetarian-friendly.
  • Balanced flavors featuring smoky fajita seasoning and a creamy lime drizzle.
02 -
  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer; overcrowding the pan will cause them to steam rather than roast.
  • Use corn tortillas to keep the dish naturally gluten-free.
  • The guac yogurt drizzle can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, though it is best served fresh.
