Invite a touch of Latino magic into your kitchen with the BEST Fajita Veggies Mix, a burst of vibrant color and delectable flavors that transforms an ordinary meal into a sizzling fiesta.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 3 portobello mushrooms
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- salt
Instructions
- Peel the red onions. Slice the mushrooms. Remove the stem and seeds from the peppers then slice them up.
- In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, spices, and salt until well coated.
- Sauté the vegetables in a pan set to MED-HIGH heat for 8 - 10 minutes. The vegetables should be cooked yet slightly crunchy.
Notes
- Choose fresh vegetables. Firm bell peppers and onions, and Portobello mushrooms with smooth, unblemished caps will provide the best taste.
- Slice your vegetables into uniform pieces to get an even cooking time.
- When sautéing, give the vegetables space to breath. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of getting that nice caramelization.
- Don't skimp on the spices. Adjust the quantity of the spices according to taste, but remember that the fajita flavor comes from that ground cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika.
- Cook your vegetables on HIGH heat to achieve the perfect balance of a nice sear while retaining a bit of crunch.
