Serve these rainbow fajita veggies as a side dish with any Tex Mex dinner, or make them a meal on their own! I love to stuff them into tortillas with guac, salsa, and pickled jalapeños.
Ingredient
3 multi-colored peppers, stemmed and sliced into strips
3 portobello mushrooms, stemmed and wiped clean
1 red onion, sliced into wedges
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder, more to taste
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
Splash of balsamic vinegar
2 limes, sliced into wedges
Freshly ground black pepper
8 Flour or Corn Tortillas
Guacamole or avocado slices squeezed with lime
Pickled Jalapeños or sliced plain jalapeños
Diced tomatoes or Pico de Gallo
Cilantro
Tomatillo Salsa or Pineapple Salsa
Direction
Heat a grill to medium heat with a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (or grill pan) inside.
Arrange the peppers on a tray and the mushrooms and onion wedges on a separate rimmed plate. In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Drizzle 1 scant tablespoon of the mixture over the peppers and toss to coat. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle the mushrooms with a splash of balsamic vinegar and use your hands to coat the mushrooms on both sides.
Grill the peppers in the cast-iron pan for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until charred and soft. Be careful not to overfill the pan or the veggies won’t char on the edges - cook them in 2 batches, if necessary. Grill the mushrooms and onion wedges directly on the grill for about 4 minutes about per side. Remove everything from the grill, using a potholder to remove the cast-iron pan. Squeeze the juice of ½ lime over the peppers and season with salt, pepper, and more chili powder, to taste. Slice the mushrooms into strips and place on a serving dish. Transfer the onions and the peppers to a serving skillet or large platter.
Serve with the tortillas, guacamole, jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, and remaining lime wedges for serving.
