Portobello Mushroom Fajitas (Sheet Pan Meal!)

Filed Under: mushrooms, oven roasted, quick and easy, recipe, vegetarian entrees Written By Leanne October 11, 2020

Jump to Recipe

Vegetarian portobello mushroom fajitas are a simple and crowd-pleasing dinner! They’re cooked on a sheet pan with the peppers and onions to speed things up and make clean-up a breeze. Great for a weeknight!

ingredients for portobello mushroom fajitas

Mexican food makes a frequent appearance in our household but fajitas always seem to be the forgotten meal. We love them, they’re simple, but we usually opt for the easier and equally delicious counterparts: tacos and burrito bowls.

For some reason it always seems so time-intensive to prepare the meat. So why not make them vegetarian?

Let me tell you about these portobello mushroom fajitas. They are totally weeknight-friendly and bursting with flavor from the marinade. Portobello mushrooms are drenched in an umami flavor bomb of soy sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes before getting cooked until tender and perfect. A single sheet pan is all you need to cook everything so it’s a really low maintenance recipe.

Also, hello veggies! This is such a feel-good meal.

Marinade for Portobello Mushrooms

The first step in this recipe is to create a big-flavor marinade and let the mushrooms soak for a bit. Here’s what goes in:

  • soy sauce
  • red wine vinegar
  • neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
  • granulated garlic
  • ground cumin
  • crushed red pepper flakes

Why mushrooms?

Mushrooms are a favorite ingredient in any plant-forward kitchen. They bring the umami component to a dish (which can sometimes go missing when you cut out meat).

For fajitas, you also need something that has a similar shape to the more traditional strips of chicken or steak and portobellos work perfectly. They also have a “meaty” texture.

Recommended Toppings for Portobello Mushroom Fajitas

You can use whatever you like for toppings on these, but here are some of my favorites for mushroom fajitas:

  • Pico de gallo
  • Guacamole (or diced avocado)
  • Fire-roasted corn (can buy frozen, or make yourself)
  • Cilantro
  • Limes
  • Sour cream & shredded cheese (unless you want to keep them vegan of course!)

I also love how beautiful this meal is for entertaining. You can arrange everything on platters just like they do it in restaurants (steamy hot cast iron skillet optional).

Be sure to offer plenty of accompaniments so each person gets to build their own and it’s a guaranteed favorite. Now who wants one?

    Hi Leanne! I met you while I was an intern at Tri-County Health Dept from 2015-16. I believe you were working on a healthy bev initiative at the time (?). Your recipe looks great, can’t want to try it! Congrats on your blog, I’ll take some time to look through it soon.
