Ingredients

8 8-inch flour tortillas*
2 medium portobello mushrooms (about 1/2 pound)
1 large red (yellow, or orange bell pepper - or a combo of all three)
1/2 large yellow or red onion (sliced)
1/4 cup olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium ripe avocado (sliced)
1 fresh lime (cut into wedges)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.
Twist the stem off of the mushrooms and wipe caps with a damp paper towel to clean. If you prefer to remove the gills, use the tip of a spoon to pry them out. Some people like to remove the gills because they can turn the foods they're cooking with brown, but with these fajitas, I don't find that to be a problem. Cut caps into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss gently with your hands to evenly coat the mushroom pieces.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add portobellos, being careful not to crowd (cook in two batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender. Transfer to a plate.
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Add onions and peppers along with a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 7-8 minutes.
To serve, place a couple of portobello slices along with a few pieces of onions and peppers in the middle of a flour tortilla. Top with avocado and a squeeze of lime. Fold up and eat!
