Ingredients

• 3 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 small Flour tortillas
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Slice the mushroom caps into thin strips.

Step 2

Core and slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin strips as well.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Sprinkle the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the spices to combine with the vegetables. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds until soft.

Step 8

Serve the sautéed vegetables in the tortillas. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
