                        ***FAJITA FILLING***
   4      large         portabello mushroom caps
                        sliced into long thin strips
   2      large         onions
                        sliced into long thin strips
   2      large         green peppers
                        sliced into long thin strips
   1      large         red pepper
                        sliced into long thin strips
                        ***COMBINE IN A SHALLOW DISH***
   2      tablespoons   white wine vinegar
   2      teaspoons     fat-free Italian salad dressing
   2      tablespoons   finely minced cilantro
   1      tablespoon    finely minced garlic
   1      teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/2  teaspoon      paprika
     1/4  teaspoon      black pepper
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      chili powder
   6      8"            flour tortillas (preferably whole wheat)
                        **TOPPINGS**
                        fatfree cheddar cheese
                        fatfree sour cream
                        lettuce
                        chopped tomatoes

Add sliced vegetables to vinegar mixture and marinate for 15 - 30 minutes.

Place vegetables in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5
minutes or until vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp.  Drain any
left-over liquid and place vegetables in a serving dish.

Heat tortillas in microwave for 1 minute.  Place vegetables on table along
with the toppings in their own small dishes.  Assemble fajitas by rolling
1/6 vegetable mixture and desired toppings into a tortilla.

Notes: Portabello mushrooms in this dish have a meaty texture and flavor
and take the place of the usual beef/chicken found in fajitas.
