Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (use mixed colors for vibrant presentation)
Houmous and Avocado
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup houmous (store-bought or homemade)
Others
- 4 large flour or corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking vegetables)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Clean and slice the mushrooms and bell peppers into thin strips, ensuring even pieces for uniform cooking.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Make the avocado houmous: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Mix it together thoroughly with the houmous to create a creamy avocado houmous blend.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for about 20 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the fajitas: Spread a generous layer of avocado houmous on each warm tortilla, then top with the sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers. Fold the tortillas and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free or whole wheat tortillas if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the mushrooms and peppers while cooking.
- To make this recipe vegan, ensure the houmous used contains no dairy or animal products.
- Add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an aromatic garnish if desired.
- These fajitas pair well with a side of fresh salsa or a simple green salad.
