Portobello and Vegetable Fajitas
Portobello mushroom is beefy, firm and absolutely flavorful when pan roasted or sautéed. Combine it with sautéed vegetables and warm corn tortillas for a satisfying meal.

This fajita is smokey and made spicy with creamy green sauce. A quick and easy weeknight meal.
