This vegan fajita taco recipe is perfect when you need a quick and easy weeknight meal!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup water (for water saute)
  • 2 portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 large onion, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (any combo of red, orange, yellow or green), sliced
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon mineral salt, or to taste

To Serve

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • cilantro sprigs
  • 2 limes
  • 6 corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat oil or water over medium heat, add the onions, peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt, toss to combine.

Add in the mushrooms and saute, gently stirring the mushrooms carefully, until peppers and portobellos are soft, about 10 – 15 minutes.

Smash or slice the avocado. I smashed mine and added the juice of 1 lime and about 2 tablespoons of diced jalapeno and generous pinch of salt.

Layer each tortilla with the mushroom-pepper mix, top with avocado and cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime over top. A little hot sauce would be great too!

Makes 6 tacos, serves 3

Notes

Change up the smoked paprika using:

  • regular paprika
  • chili powder
  • or smoked chipotle powder for spiciness (use 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon)

To round out the nutritional profile, add a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), for more protein, in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
