Vegan Fajitas

Vegan Fajitas are such a good way to use up any leftover vegetables you may have at home. Feel free to be creative and adapt the recipe to what you already have! You can use carrots, sweet potatoes, aubergines, mushrooms, cauliflower and spinach to name a few, but have fun creating a slightly different fajitas recipe every time.

The key to making a vegan fajitas recipe taste amazing is to cook it with a mixture of Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, for that spicy, smoky and sweet taste, as well as adding tamari sauce, dried oregano and lime juice. We also like adding a splash of lager at the end to bring all the flavours together! Then simply season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.

Serve your veggie fajitas warm with freshly made homemade guacamole, Gran Luchito Refried Beans and warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps on the side.

The refried beans not only help to keep your fajitas in place inside your tacos, but also add healthy and tasty protein, making these easy Vegan Fajitas a wholesome and nutritious meal. Don’t know much about refried beans? Check out our blog What Are Refried Beans.

Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste is available on Amazon Prime in the US, UK and across the EU

1 bunch of spring onions (roughly chopped)

How to make it

In a small bowl mix together Chipotle Paste, lime juice, soy sauce, dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reserve.
Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Once it’s hot enough, add in the tenderstem broccoli, spring onions, green beans and yellow peppers. Fry over a high heat so that they get slightly charred, and once ready, remove them from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
Toss the cherry tomatoes into the same pan and let them get a bit blistered, then add all the vegetables back into the pan, pour in the chipotle mixture, stir and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Finally, add the beer and let everything simmer for a minute or two. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander scattered on top, and when ready set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat up the Refried Beans for a couple of minutes.
In the meantime, prepare a quick guacamole by mashing the avocado flesh with a fork in a medium size bowl. Add a bit of lime juice, the extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything and set aside.
Serve your vegan fajitas with warm Soft Tacos, guacamole and Refried Beans on the side. Prepare your tacos by adding a spoonful of warm beans into your tortilla wraps, then top with the vegan fajitas and a bit of guacamole. Enjoy!
