Bean and Mushroom Fajitas [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

For the Seasoning:

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

For the Fajitas:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 red bell peppers, sliced in long slices
• 1 14-ounce can kidney beans (1 1/2 cups)
• 10 White Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 large tortillas (gluten-free if desired)

For the Toppings (Optional):

• Pico de Gallo
• Guacamole
• Cashew sour cream

Preparation

To Make the Seasoning:

• Mix together in a small bowl.
• If you want to warm up the tortillas, wrap them in parchment paper and place in the oven at 400°F for 10 - 15 minutes, until warm to touch.

To Make the Fajitas:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the peppers and onion and sauté for 5 minutes.
• Add the kidney beans and white mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Mix the fajita seasoning and water in a small glass until seasoning is completely dissolved in the water. Add to the vegetables and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until most of the water evaporates.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among the 4 tortillas.

Notes

The vegetable/bean mixture can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply fry in a large pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
