Instructions

Marinate Veggies

In a bowl, whisk together water, oil, liquid smoke, and fajita seasoning. Pour this marinade into a resealable bag, then add the avocados, bell pepper, and onion. Give everything a good toss to coat well, squeeze out the extra air, seal the bag, and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour or up to overnight—just remember to turn it a few times so everything soaks up the flavor.

Warm Tortillas in Oven

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Stack the tortillas, wrap them tightly in foil, and warm them in the oven while you grill.

Prepare and Heat Grill

Heat your grill to medium and lightly oil the grates. Take the veggies out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and separate the avocados from the onions and peppers.

Grill Onions and Peppers

Place the onions and bell peppers directly on the grill in a single layer. Cook them for about 5 to 10 minutes, turning now and then until they’re nice and tender. Once done, move them to an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and keep them warm in the oven.

Grill the Avocados

Next, grill the avocados in one layer, turning once, until they get a little browned—this should take around 5 minutes.

Fill and Roll Tortillas

Finally, fill your warm tortillas with the smoky avocado and pepper mixture. Roll or fold them up however you like, and enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish is packed with bold smoky flavors and creamy avocado, making it both satisfying and nutritious. It’s a great way to enjoy a meatless meal that feels hearty and rich without being heavy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm tortillas, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a side of black beans or rice. Fresh salsa or a dollop of sour cream can add a cool contrast to the smoky spices.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep avocado separate if possible and add fresh when reheating to avoid browning and maintain creaminess.
