Mushroom Fajitas are one of our favourite ways to make veggie-friendly fajitas. They are quite easy to prepare already but this recipe makes them even more convenient to cook.

Following on from that, coat your mushrooms and peppers in the mixture and finally place them on a baking tray to let the oven do its magic.
Once ready, simply serve with steamed rice or Gran Luchito Chipotle Refried Beans on the side and some warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps. Then dig in and enjoy!

FAQs
How do you make mushroom fajitas?
To make mushroom fajitas, sauté sliced mushrooms with bell peppers, onions, and fajita seasoning in a pan until they are tender and cooked through. Serve them in warm tortillas with your favourite toppings.
What type of mushrooms are best for fajitas?
We used chestnut mushrooms and portobello mushrooms in our recipe. But different varieties of mushrooms work well for fajitas, such as portobello, cremini, or button mushrooms. These mushrooms have a meaty texture and can hold up well to the flavours of the fajita seasoning.
Can I add meat or poultry to mushroom fajitas?
Absolutely! If you are not strictly vegetarian, you can add slices of cooked chicken, beef, or shrimp to your mushroom fajitas for extra protein and flavour.
