Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 medium-sized Bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced Avocado (optional)
- 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo (optional)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently removing their stems and scraping out the gills with a spoon. Slice the mushroom caps into 1/2-inch thick strips.
Core and thinly slice the bell peppers. Slice the red onion into thin wedges. Halve the zucchini lengthwise and then slice it into thin half-moons.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, consider using a grill basket to prevent smaller vegetables from falling through the grates.
Grill the vegetables in batches, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds on each side, until pliable and lightly toasted.
To assemble the fajitas, layer the grilled vegetables on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and salsa or pico de gallo, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Portabella Mushrooms and Veggie Fajitas!
