Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 4 large portobello caps, sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 poblano peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 2 avocados, mashed
- chopped cilantro to serve
lime crema
- 1/2 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (or regular)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- kosher salt, to taste
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Toss in the butter and garlic. Stir 2-3 minutes longer until the mushrooms caramelize. Move to a plate.
To the same skillet, add the poblanos, onions, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until slightly softened but still crunchy, about 3-5 minutes. Pour the mushrooms back in, as well as the black beans, and stir to warm through. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
To make the lime crema, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, and salt.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave. Add the mashed avocado to the bottom, then a good heap of the fajita veggies. Top with the lime crema, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice, as desired.
