Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work great)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Juice of 1 lime
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro

Equipment

• Large skillet or cast iron pan
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Citrus juicer (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves. Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly and set aside.
2. Heat the skillet: Place your skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to warm up for about 30 seconds.
3. Sauté the onions and peppers: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften and develop a slight char, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add mushrooms and garlic: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are tender and garlic is fragrant.
5. Season the vegetables: Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the spices bloom.
6. Add black beans: Stir in the black beans and cook until they are heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Finish with lime juice: Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the fajita mixture. Give it a final stir to combine all flavors.
8. Warm the tortillas: In a separate dry skillet or directly over a gas flame (if using cast iron), warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
9. Assemble and serve: Spoon the vegetable and bean mixture into the warm tortillas. Top with your favorite fajita toppings such as sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Tips & Variations

For even more protein, try adding grilled tofu or tempeh strips seasoned with the same fajita spices.

Feel free to swap the black beans for pinto beans or chickpeas for a different texture and flavor. If you like a bit of heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.

For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes depending on what you have available.

Want to prep ahead? You can chop all the vegetables and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

The spice blend can be mixed in advance and kept in a small jar for quick use.
