Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

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!

VEGAN TOFU FAJITAS



Vegan Tofu Fajitas image

I guarantee you will not miss the chicken or cheese when you eat these vegan tofu fajitas. Serve with Spanish rice and beans for a delicious meal. I got this recipe from Whole Foods Market and made a few modifications. The key to this recipe is the marinating, so be sure to let the tofu and vegetables marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Vegan Fajitas:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your fajitas a more flavorful and colorful filling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you put too many vegetables in the pan at once, they will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Season the vegetables well. Use a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika, to give the vegetables flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegan protein. There are many different types of vegan protein that can be used in fajitas, such as tofu, tempeh, or seitan. Choose a protein that you like the taste and texture of.
  • Warm the tortillas before serving. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll up.
  • Serve the fajitas with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Vegan fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, and they can also be a healthy and filling meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can make vegan fajitas that are just as flavorful and satisfying as traditional fajitas. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give vegan fajitas a try!
