We all know and love Taco Tuesday, but how about Fajita Friday?! For an evening meal that goes just as heavy on the flavor and combines all of your favorite ingredients into one delicious meal, go for these vegetable fajitas.

Made with the classics like mushrooms, veggies, and lots of toppings, this delicious vegetable fajita recipe is the perfect option for any night of the week. Plus, you can skip the sour cream for vegan fajitas that are great for a crowd!

You can opt to keep things simple with your favorite store-bought tortillas and taco seasoning, or you can get fancy and make your own tortillas right at home! These will be delicious either way. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients in vegetable fajitas

Veggie fajitas keep things pretty simple. Begin with an easy 3-ingredient marinade, followed by a quick and easy mushroom, pepper, and onion vegetable blend. Finish things off with tortillas and your favorite toppings!

Marinade

  • Olive Oil: Start with ¼ cup of olive oil as the base of the veggie marinade.
  • Lime Juice: 2 tablespoons of lime juice will add that zing that’s so crucial with fajitas!
  • Taco Seasoning: Finish off the marinade with 2½ tablespoons of taco seasoning. (Want to make your own taco seasoning? See below for an easy make-it-yourself blend of spices!)

Veggies

  • Mushrooms: First up, you’ll need 4 to 5 portobello mushrooms.
  • Bell Peppers: For the peppers, I recommend using 3 different colors, both for presentation and for flavor!
  • Onion: Finally, 1 medium red onion will add a serious amount of flavor.
  • Extras: Feel free to throw whatever other veggies you want in the mix! I love adding strips of nopales (cactus leaves)!

To Serve

  • Tortillas: Serve in tortillas, using either 4 large or 6 small tortillas. Feeling adventurous? Make your own flour or flavored tortillas!
  • Toppings: Top with your favorite toppings, like sour cream, cilantro, salsa, avocado, and/or lime juice (these fajitas + this blender salsa = a match made in heaven).

How to make veggie fajitas

These easy vegan fajitas are all about the marinade. When you get that rolling and coat the veggies, you wind up with a seriously flavorful result. Top with your favorites, and you’re in for a mouth watering meal!

Step 1: Prep the marinade
First, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Stir together all of the marinade ingredients (olive oil, lime juice, and taco seasoning).

Step 2: Prep the veggies
Next, slice the mushrooms into ¼ inch slabs. Add them to a large bowl, then toss with the marinade. Cut the peppers and onions into slices, and then add them to the bowl and toss to lightly coat with the marinade.

Step 3: Roast the vegetables
Arrange the veggies in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly charred at the edges.

Step 4: Serve
Warm the tortillas prior to serving, and then spoon the hot veggies into the tortillas. Serve with desired toppings such as cilantro, salsa, pico de gallo, avocado, and lime juice. You can also add sour cream, either regular or a vegan version.

Fajitas from Scratch

Want to make your own tortillas? Here’s an easy recipe to make your own flour tortillas that uses only 4 ingredients and tastes so good with the fajita veggies.

To make your own taco seasoning, use this blend of spices: 1 teaspoon each of chili powder, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano + 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Finally, make your own sauce to complete the meal. Some of our favorite fajitas sauces are homemade Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and avocado crema!

    Tried the recipe tonight. Made a couple of adjustments. Used shallots instead of red onions since red onions do not agree with my wife. Also added ā€œimpossible burger crumblesā€ to the mix just to add some protein. Oh yes, another substitution, used Shabaka mushrooms. The result was fabulous. My wife said that it was one of the better meals that I have served. Thank you Sarah.
    This really turned out great. Thanks a million.

    All I can say is WOW! Made these tonight for 2 people using 2 portobellos, 1/2 cup white onion, baby mixed peppers and all the seasonings. Served with red cabbage, just pickled jalapeƱos, avocado and cilantro. They were fabulous and I would recommend them to any carnivore or vegetarian-no one will be disappointed.5 stars
