Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
