Vegetarian Fajitas 

By Madeleine Stiffler

Ingredients: 

  • 1 white onion
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 portobello mushroom
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Homemade or store bought guacamole 
  • 1 can refried beans or whole pinto/black beans 

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  1. Thinly slice the onion. Slice the bell peppers. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Chop the mushroom into bite-sized pieces. Add the veggies to a big bowl and toss them with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
  1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Add the vegetables in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes, then remove the sheets, stir the veggies, and sprinkle on another ½ teaspoon salt spread between the trays (¼ teaspoon on each). Stir again, then return to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes until tender.
  1. Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan.
  1. If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm.
  1. To serve, place the refried beans and roasted veggies in tortillas, and top with guacamole of choice.
