Instructions
- 1.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make your fajita seasoning.
Time: 2 min - 2.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften and brown slightly.
Time: 7 min - 3.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the vegetables and chickpeas. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Time: 2 min - 4.
Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, the mushrooms are cooked through, and the chickpeas are slightly golden and flavorful.
Time: 10 min - 5.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.
Time: 1 min - 6.
Serve the hot fajita mixture immediately with warm tortillas, avocado, generous dollops of vegan sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Time: 3 min
Tips
- 💡To warm tortillas, you can wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or microwave them briefly wrapped in a damp paper towel.
- 💡For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the fajita seasoning.
- 💡Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, corn, or black beans to the mix for even more variety and nutrition.
