Best Vegan Fajitas Recipes

VEGAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine olive oil, vinegar, oregano, chili powder, garlic salt, salt, pepper and sugar. To the marinade add the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, green pepper and red pepper. Marinate vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 24 hours.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the vegetables and saute until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the corn and beans; increase the heat to high for 5 minutes, to brown vegetables.

EASY PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM VEGAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.
• Twist the stem off of the mushrooms and wipe caps with a damp paper towel to clean. If you prefer to remove the gills, use the tip of a spoon to pry them out. Some people like to remove the gills because they can turn the foods they're cooking with brown, but with these fajitas, I don't find that to be a problem. Cut caps into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss gently with your hands to evenly coat the mushroom pieces.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add portobellos, being careful not to crowd (cook in two batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender. Transfer to a plate.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Add onions and peppers along with a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 7-8 minutes.
• To serve, place a couple of portobello slices along with a few pieces of onions and peppers in the middle of a flour tortilla. Top with avocado and a squeeze of lime. Fold up and eat!

VEGAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the peppers and onions over a medium high heat until tender and starting to turn golden brown, about 6-8 mins. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 1 min more until fragrant. Add half of the lime juice and season. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm while you heat the beans.
• Tip the black beans into the same frying pan and add the remaining lime juice. Season well, and stir until warmed through and coated in any remaining spices from the pan. Stir in most of the coriander.
• Warm the tortillas in the microwave or wrapped in foil in a low oven, then cover with a tea towel to keep them warm. Serve the wraps with the peppers, beans, avocado, dairy-free yogurt, extra coriander and extra lime wedges to squeeze over, if you like.

VEGAN TOFU FAJITAS

Steps:

• Dry tofu by pressing firmly with paper towels. Cut into strips and place in a wide dish.
• Mix lime juice, cumin, liquid amino acid, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the tofu; toss gently. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes to overnight.
• Combine remaining lime juice mixture, red onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Toss well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator, 20 minutes to overnight.
• Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over high heat. Cook and stir tofu until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Spray the skillet with cooking spray again and place back over high heat. Add onion-pepper mixture; cook and stir until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Return tofu to the skillet.
• Warm tortillas and top with tofu mixture, avocado, tomato, and cilantro.

VEGAN FAJITAS WITH TEMPEH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper, onion, garlic, and salt. Cook and stir until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix tempeh, water, and fajita seasoning together in a shallow bowl.
• Add seasoned tempeh to the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until tempeh absorbs flavors, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.

LIME-MARINATED TOFU FAJITAS OR SOFT TACOS - THE VEGAN ATLAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425º F.
• For each tub of tofu, cut the slices 8 slabs crosswise, Blot well between layers of paper towel or clean tea towels. The tofu should be as firm as possible, so if you have a tofu press and can press the tofu ahead of time, so much the better.
• Cut each slab in half in the opposite direction so that you wind up with 16 strips of tofu.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, oil, chili powder or BBQ seasoning, and salt. Stir together.
• Add the tofu strips to the bowl, about half at a time, and toss gently to coat with the lime mixture.
• Arrange the tofu strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
• Combine the bell peppers and scallions in the same bowl used earlier. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
• Arrange the bell peppers mixture on another parchment-lined pan. Roast the tofu mixture and the bell peppers mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, or until everything is turning golden.
• Just before everything in the oven is done, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the hot oven for no longer than 5 minutes.
• Place the garnishes in separate small bowls.
• Distribute two warmed flour tortillas to everyone. To assemble, have everyone place 4 strips of tofu and some of the peppers mixture in the center of their tortillas and garnish as they wish. Then roll up or fold over and eat out of hand.

YUMMY VEGAN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Julienne the vegetables and combine them in a bowl.
• Add crushed garlic and mix lightly.
• Removed mushrooms stalks and slice the caps - add to the bowl. mix the oil and chili powder, cumin and oregano in a cup, pour over veggies, and stir well.
• Set aside to marinate. Note: Carnivores should feel free to add sliced chicken/steak.
• Make the guacamole (I'm sure you know how), cover tightly and chill out in a fridge.
• Heat a frying pan or wok until very hot. Add veggies and stir fry over high heat 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms and peppers are just tender (I prefer mine slightly charred). Of course, meat eaters will probably need to cook longer so as not to have a bio-hazard for dinner. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the filling on to the tortilla and roll up.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with guacamole and lime wedges.
