Serve these rainbow fajita veggies as a side dish with any Tex Mex dinner, or make them a meal on their own! I love to stuff them into tortillas with guac, salsa, and pickled jalapeños.

Ingredients
- 3 multi-colored peppers stemmed and sliced into strips
- 3 portobello mushrooms stemmed and wiped clean
- 1 red onion sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- ½ teaspoon chili powder more to taste
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon sea salt more to taste
- Splash of balsamic vinegar
- 2 limes sliced into wedges
- freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
- 8 flour or corn tortillas
- Guacamole or avocado slices squeezed with lime
- Pickled Jalapeños or sliced plain jalapeños
- Diced tomatoes or Pico de gallo
- cilantro
- Tomatillo Salsa or Pineapple Salsa
Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium heat with a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (or grill pan) inside.
- Arrange the peppers on a tray and the mushrooms and onion wedges on a separate rimmed plate. In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Drizzle 1 scant tablespoon of the mixture over the peppers and toss to coat. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle the mushrooms with a splash of balsamic vinegar and use your hands to coat the mushrooms on both sides.
- Grill the peppers in the cast-iron pan for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until charred and soft. Be careful not to overfill the pan or the veggies won’t char on the edges - cook them in 2 batches, if necessary. Grill the mushrooms and onion wedges directly on the grill for about 4 minutes about per side. Remove everything from the grill, using a potholder to remove the cast-iron pan. Squeeze the juice of ½ lime over the peppers and season with salt, pepper, and more chili powder, to taste. Slice the mushrooms into strips and place on a serving dish. Transfer the onions and the peppers to a serving skillet or large platter.
- Serve with the tortillas, guacamole, jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, and remaining lime wedges for serving.
