Vegan Fajitas Recipe

There’s no such thing as too many easy dinner ideas. So let us present our new favorite: these incredible vegan fajitas! Everyone loves this meal, even meat eaters. It’s a great way to make a fun healthy dinner where no one notices there’s no meat! Roast up lots of veggies on a sheet pan with spices, and serve with refried beans and “guac-ish”. The recipe comes right from Talia Pollack’s Party in Your Plants cookbook: and it’s truly a plant party. Here’s what to do, and more about this delicious plant based book!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Thinly slice the onion. Slice the bell peppers. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Chop the mushroom into bite-sized pieces. Add the veggies to a big bowl and toss them with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Add the vegetables in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes, then remove the sheets, stir the veggies, and sprinkle on another ½ teaspoon salt spread between the trays (¼ teaspoon on each). Stir again, then return to the oven and roast another 10 minutes until tender.
4. Meanwhile, pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the lime juice, salt, and cilantro.
5. Heat the refried beans in a small sauce pan.
6. If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
7. To serve, place the refried beans and roasted veggies in tortillas, and top with guac-ish.

Ingredients in vegan fajitas: sheet pan veggies

What we love about this delicious vegetarian and vegan fajitas recipe is that it’s basically sheet pan fajitas! Throw a mix of veggies onto a sheet pan, mix with fajita spices, and bake! It’s so simple and it’s easy to customize. You can use any veggies you like, and even try it with our fajita seasoning (throw the veg in a bowl with olive oil and eye-ball it). This combo of fajita veggies is fantastic though: it’s got just the right elements to make a tasty healthy dinner. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Onion: use white, yellow or red!
2. Bell peppers: any color! We like a mix of green, orange and red
3. Cauliflower
4. Portobello mushroom
5. Olive oil
6. Chili powder
7. Cumin
8. Smoked paprika: if you can find it, this gives a nice subtle smokiness (you can use it in lots of recipes)
9. Garlic powder
10. Onion powder
