Portobello Mushroom Fajita Lettuce Wraps
This recipe is 100% vegan and gluten free, but it technically is only vegetables. It is missing protien and whole grains, so is technically not a balanced meal. Pair is with a protein and agrain and you’ve got yourslef dinner. It is a great weeknight recipe because it's easy, quick, and uses only a few ingredients. You can use store-bought fajita seasoning or make your own. I have added a fajita seasoning recipe at the bottom of the post if you have tons of spices and would like to try putting it together yourself!
I suggest using 2 lettuce leaves for each wrap because they are very messy and you don't want to have fajita juice running down your shirt like me! Enjoy this sin-free meal topped with whatever you like, I suggest sliced avocado, salsa, some rice and a protein!
*serves 4
Ingredients:
1 large white onion
3 portobello mushrooms
4 bell peppers of assorted colours
3 tbsp fajita seasoning
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp water
1 head romaine lettuce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions:
Slice your peppers, portobello mushrooms and onions into strips.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and sauté. After 2-3 minutes, toss the peppers, fajita seasoning, the second tbsp of coconut oil and 2 tbsp water in with the onions and mushrooms.
Sauté for 10-15 minutes until the peppers, onions, and mushrooms are cooked to your liking.
Serve in full romaine lettuce leaves with chopped cilantro on top. I suggest doubling up on your lettuce leaves per wrap because they can be messy! Enjoy!
