How to Make Hearty Vegetarian Fajitas

An easy Tex-Mex meal that's ready in less than 30 minutes! Vegetarian fajitas are tender and meaty thanks to portobello mushrooms, with a slight crunch from the peppers and onions, and finished with creamy avocado and fresh cilantro. 

– bell peppers  – red onion – portobello mushrooms – fresh lime juice – Worcestershire sauce – garlic cloves – ground cumin

Ingredients Needed

– smoked paprika – chili powder – salt – extra-virgin olive oil – avocados (optional) – fresh cilantro (optional) – flour or corn tortillas

Ingredients Needed

Place sliced peppers, onion, and mushrooms in a large bowl and set aside.

Recipe Instructions

Make marinade/sauce: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and whisk to combine. Pour marinade over sliced veggies and toss to combine using tongs or two large spoons.

Recipe Instructions

Working in two batches, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of your vegetables and cook for around 5 minutes, until they become slightly  tender.

Recipe Instructions

Remove cooked vegetables from skillet using tongs or a slotted spoon (try to leave liquid in the pan to avoid soggy fajitas). Repeat process with remaining olive oil and vegetables.

Recipe Instructions

While vegetables are cooking, warm and char the tortillas by placing them over a gas burner (or grill) for a few seconds per side, using tongs to flip them. Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 10 minutes.

Recipe Instructions

Assemble fajitas with cooked veggies, avocado, and cilantro, or your choice of toppings (see "Toppings"  section for suggestions). Serve warm.
