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. 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. 2

    Toss the sliced mushrooms with chili powder and cumin.

  3. 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. 4

    Add remaining oil, bell peppers, and onion, cooking 5-6 minutes until softened and charred at the edges.

  5. 5

    Return mushrooms to the pan, add lime juice, toss, and serve with warm corn tortillas.
