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.
