Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 capsicums (bell peppers) different colours, sliced into strips
  • 3 portobello mushroom or 8-10 button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ lime
  • handful of fresh coriander, chopped. (Approx 1/4 cup once chopped)

Instructions
 

  • To season, toss the sliced capsicum, onions, mushrooms and minced garlic in the spice mix (excluding coriander)
  • Heat a non-stick pan or grill on high
  • Add seasoned vegetables to a hot pan or grill and allow to dry-fry for three minutes before tossing. (Add a dash of liquid vege stock if needed, however too much liquid will prevent the charring of vegetables)
  • Cook until a slight charring appears on the onion and capsicum to get that fajita-style chargrilled flavour
  • .Remove from heat. Toss through chopped corriander and squeeze over half a lime.
  • Give it a try and adjust the spice mix to your tasting. Smoked Chipotle powder also adds a great fajita flavour, or you can choose your favourite taco or fajita pre-mix seasoning for a quick alternative.
