Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.
- Twist the stem off of the mushrooms and wipe caps with a damp paper towel to clean. If you prefer to remove the gills, use the tip of a spoon to pry them out. Some people like to remove the gills because they can turn the foods they're cooking with brown, but with these fajitas, I don't find that to be a problem. Cut caps into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss gently with your hands to evenly coat the mushroom pieces.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add portobellos, being careful not to crowd (cook in two batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender. Transfer to a plate.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Add onions and peppers along with a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 7-8 minutes.
- To serve, place a couple of portobello slices along with a few pieces of onions and peppers in the middle of a flour tortilla. Top with avocado and a squeeze of lime. Fold up and eat!
VEGAN TOFU FAJITAS
I guarantee you will not miss the chicken or cheese when you eat these vegan tofu fajitas. Serve with Spanish rice and beans for a delicious meal. I got this recipe from Whole Foods Market and made a few modifications. The key to this recipe is the marinating, so be sure to let the tofu and vegetables marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Prep your veggies ahead of time: Slicing and dicing your vegetables in advance will save you time and hassle when you're ready to cook.
- Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to sear your vegetables and give them a nice smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of sear.
- Season your vegetables: Don't forget to season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve your fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served hot off the skillet, so make sure to have all your toppings ready before you start cooking.
Conclusion:
Vegan fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together with friends. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and healthy vegan fajita meal on the table in no time.
