The weather has been brutal lately. Chicago has gifted us with constant below freezing temperatures, snowfall, and gusty winds… I’m not surprised by this at all but it has been difficult to stay warm in our little apartment! This is probably why I have been craving warm, sizzling Mexican food for the past month. My Spicy Coleslaw Tofu Tacos and Vegan Tortilla Soup recipes have been keeping us warm but I can’t make those every night! Alas, I figured it was time to create a totally vegan fajita recipe for the blog. Luckily for me, these Bell Pepper & Mushroom Vegan Fajitas don’t disappoint!
Mushrooms are the perfect substitute for fajita-seasoned chicken or steak. They are not only hearty in flavor, but they are also easy to digest and filled with antioxidants. Trust me when I say that we didn’t miss the meat at all. For serving, we used flour tortillas. You can mix it up with corn tortillas or create fajita bowls with rice and/or lettuce, as well. The options are endless!
