Tips for making the best fajitas.
You can make your mushrooms even tastier by marinating them for as little as a half hour. Simply whisk together your fajita seasoning with half of the olive oil and then toss the mixture with your sliced mushrooms (in a bowl or zip top bag).
More helpful tips for you.
- Using a cast iron skillet can make this recipe even more authentic. Your cooking time may differ from a regular skillet so it is best to keep a good eye on your fajitas while they cook.
- I always seem to have a supply of multi-colored peppers on hand which makes making this recipe even easier but, you can use the pepper(s) of your choice. For a bit of heat you can slice up a poblano pepper .
- For fully vegan fajitas, use vegan tortillas as some are made with animal byproducts.
- Add a bit of protein to your fajitas such as firm tofu, vegan meat or chicken, or shrimp (non-vegan).
- My fajitas were topped with fresh lime juice just before serving. This is optional but, can add a nice balance to the flavors in your fajitas.
- Lastly, no matter what kind of tortillas your use, steaming or warming them up first can make them more soft and pliable for making a great meal!
