Ingredients Needed

Portobello mushroom caps: these “meaty” mushrooms give this recipe a hearty taste.
Onion: we prefer yellow or white onions for this recipe.
Bell pepper: any color you want. We used half red and half orange.
Spices: This homemade fajita spice mix is made of salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Olive oil: to coat the veggies in for roasting.
Fresh lime juice
For serving: small flour tortillas and avocado slices.

How to make portobello mushroom fajitas

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper into thick slices and place them on a large sheet pan.

Step 2: Make your homemade fajita spice mix. Stir together the salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3: Sprinkle the fajita spice mix over the vegges and drizzle the olive oil over the top. Use your hands to toss the veggies until they are coated evenly in the oil and spices.

Step 4: Roast the fajita veggies in the oven for 20 minutes, then stir and toss them. Roast the veggies for an additional 15-20 minutes, until caramelized.

Step 5: Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the top of the veggies and toss to combine. Serve with flour tortillas, avocado slices, and toppings of choice.

The high heat used in roasting these veggies is key for getting those charred and crispy caramelized edges that give the dish so much flavor!

Toppings

Be sure not to skip the fresh avocado slices with these fajitas! The creamy cool avocado is the perfect contrast to the smoky vegetables.

If you want more topping ideas, you could try homemade guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or jalapeños for a little heat.
