Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime

1 cup canned, diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) asparagus cuts and tips, drained
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, optional
8 medium (8 inch) flour tortillas, preferably whole wheat, warmed by package directions
1 cup fancy shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup prepared guacamole, optional

Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 10 minutes

Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, pepper, lime zest and lime juice in a medium mixing bowl. Add corn, kidney beans, mushrooms and green beans. Toss gently until all vegetables are coated. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Heat the remaining one tablespoon oil in a large, well seasoned skillet over high heat until smoking. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add marinated corn-bean mixture with the marinade and tomatoes; cook until steaming hot, about 4 minutes, stirring often. Gently fold in asparagus and cilantro, if used, and heat through, about 1 minute.

To assemble fajitas; spoon 3/4 cup vegetable filling into the center of each warm tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, fold in one side and roll up. Serve with sour cream and/or guacamole, if desired.
