Ingredients

• 4 large caps portabella mushrooms
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup guacamole (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the stems from the portabella mushrooms and scrape out the gills with a spoon. Slice the caps into 1/2-inch thick strips.

Step 2

Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice into thin half-moons.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the mushroom slices, bell peppers, and onions in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated vegetables to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with the cooked mushroom and vegetable mixture. Add optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
