Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Slice the mushroom caps into thin strips.
Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin strips as well.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the spices to combine with the vegetables. Remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until soft.
Serve the sautéed vegetables in the tortillas. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
