Vegetarian Fajitas
Description
This Vegetarian Fajitas recipe starts by heating vegetable oil and cooking a mix of sliced red, orange, yellow bell peppers, poblano peppers, button mushrooms, and thinly sliced red onion over high heat. The vegetables soften while developing some char that contributes smoky flavor. Garlic is added near the end for an aromatic touch.
A seasoning blend of chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, and smoked paprika is sprinkled over the cooked vegetables and cooked further for a few minutes, allowing the spices to blend well. Fresh cilantro is stirred in just before serving to add brightness and herbal notes.
Fajitas can be assembled by spooning the vegetable mixture onto warmed corn or flour tortillas and topped with accompaniments such as rice, beans, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole, according to preference. Lime wedges add optional acidity that brightens the flavors.
