Fajitas are always a hit in our house and these vegetarian ones featuring portobello mushrooms have been showing up on our menu frequently lately. Mushrooms are something we all enjoy and I like to use them instead of meat occasionally where I can.

We've been incorporating more and more vegetarian and sometimes vegan dishes into our rotation. Mushrooms are one of our favorite ways to do that. You can make delicious and hearty meals with them and probably not even miss the meat.

All you need to make these fajitas are a few simple ingredients - the large portobello mushroom caps, bell peppers, sweet onions, and some spices. The you can eat them on tortillas with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, cheese, avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, etc. 

What are portobello mushrooms? They are just large cremini (or brown) mushrooms. You'll find them spelled as portabello and portabella as well, but they are all the same thing.

You can also use them to make "bowls" and serve the fajita filling on rice instead of in a tortilla. Add all your favorite toppings for a delicious and customizable dinner. My kids always enjoy those kids of dinners where they can add the toppings they like.

I like to use smoked paprika in fajitas to add a bit of that smokey grilled flavor. It's one of those spices I always keep around because it adds such a great flavor punch. Along with some garlic, oregano, and coriander, the mushrooms and peppers are flavorful without being overly spicy or hot.

Give these fajitas a try on your next taco or Tex-Mex night for something different.
