Notes
- Nutrition is calculated including a tortilla wrap, but excluding additional toppings.
- Mushrooms are perfect for veggie fagitas as they have a nice dense texture, but feel free to swap for other veggies, like zucchini, summer squash etc...
- For extra protein, spread the fajitas with refried beans or add half a can of black beans to the veggies while cooking.
- Leave your mushrooms in a sunny windowsill for half an hour before cooking, so they can naturally create vitamin D - something we could all use a bit more of this time of year.
- Try making your own flour tortillas from scratch.
- Turn them into vegetarian fajitas by adding sour cream and cheese. You can, of course, also add vegan versions instead!
