Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 medium Sweet bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 large Red onion
- 8 small Tortillas (flour or corn)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a small spoon if desired.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the portobello mushroom caps in a shallow dish and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook the marinated portobello caps for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are browned and tender. Remove from the skillet and slice them into thick strips.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and heat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes.
To assemble the fajitas, layer the portobello 'steak' strips, sautéed vegetables, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (if using) onto each tortilla. Fold and serve hot.
