What to put in fajitas?

Traditionally, fajitas are made with bell peppers and onions. That’s it for veggies. BUT….you could really use any vegetables you want. Maybe I’d call that roasted veggie tacos….but with this spice mixture it would definitely have a fajitas vibe! I added mushrooms to the mix to give these a little umami, and still keep them vegan. What would you add to your mix?

What about shells?

Well…that depends on your preference. I like almond flour shells best, but we often use corn tortillas because those are hubbies favorite. Look for non GMO or organic corn and no processed oils in your tortillas. I like to heat the tortillas on the stove top over an open flame. You can also wrap the shells in a damp paper towel and heat/steam them in the oven. Lettuce leaves are great for wrappers as are collard greens or swiss chard. Cabbage leaves also work well.

What are good toppings for Vegetable Fajitas?

Guacamole or avocado slices are my personal favorite.

Many restaurants serve rice and beans on the side. I opt for Mexican Cauli-Rice. Another sheet pan recipe that is simple…and a great low-carb alternative to rice.

Salsa or pico de gallo is a tasty topping. This recipe for tomatillo salsa is great when tomatillos are in season. You can sub regular tomatoes using that same recipe too.

I like spice, so you will always see fresh jalapenos (or other spicy peppers) sliced in our fajita bar.

A simple slaw is another option for on top of or on the side of fajitas.

I always have a bowl of extra lime slices and fresh cilantro as additional toppings.

What do I do with leftover veggie fajitas?

Store any leftover veggies in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can be reheated in the oven or in a heavy skillet on the stove. They are awesome the next day, served hot or cold….as a topping for salad or inside of tacos. The flavors will be a bit more intense…in the best possible way. I also use them as the base for a frittata…YUM.
