Portobello Fajitas
Slicing the mushrooms thick, not thin, keeps them meaty and substantial after cooking — thin slices shrink down to almost nothing in a hot pan.

Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, gills scraped and sliced thick
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- corn tortillas for serving
Method
- 1
Scrape the gills from the portobello caps, then slice them into thick, roughly half-inch strips — slicing them thick like this is what keeps the mushrooms meaty and substantial once cooked; thin slices shrink down to almost nothing in a hot pan.
- 2
Toss the sliced mushrooms with chili powder and cumin.
- 3
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the mushrooms 6-7 minutes until browned and tender, then remove.
- 4
Add remaining oil, bell peppers, and onion, cooking 5-6 minutes until softened and charred at the edges.
- 5
Return mushrooms to the pan, add lime juice, toss, and serve with warm corn tortillas.
