Veggie fajitas are pretty much the easiest thing I make.

I love quick and easy vegan meals, and it doesn’t get much easier than chopping a few veggies, tossing them with spices, and giving them a quick cook on the stove top.

If you’re new to vegan cooking, this is a great way to ease into it with something familiar. As you’ll see in the customizations, you can easily add cheese and sour cream for vegetarians and meat on the side for meat eaters. This is a real crowd pleasing recipe!

Ingredients

• Onion
• Red bell pepper
• Green bell pepper
• Broccoli
• Portobello mushrooms
• Olive oil
• Chili powder
• Cumin
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Salt + pepper
• Tortillas

How to make this vegan fajita recipe

• Combine onions, bell peppers, broccoli, and mushrooms in a large bowl
• Whisk together oil and spices in a glass measuring cup
• Pour oil over vegetables and stir well
• Cook in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5-7 minutes

I’ve used both a big non-stick skillet (affiliate link) and a big cast iron skillet to cook this recipe and both work great. You’ll get a little more of that classic sizzle and sear like you’d find in a restaurant if you use cast iron.

What to do with fajita veggies

Fajita veggies are obviously great in fajitas, but I would also recommend adding them to salads, burritos, or serve over rice or quinoa.

Tips for customizing

• Use a big romaine or butter lettuce leaf instead of the tortilla to make a vegan fajita lettuce wrap
• Serve on corn tortillas to make them gluten-free
• Top with cheese and sour cream to make vegetarian fajitas
• Swap in your favorite veggies such as cauliflower or carrots
• Serve cooked, sliced chicken or beef on the side for meat eaters
