On the Tortilla Channel, you can find a ton of recipes and one of the most popular recipes is fajitas. Especially meat lovers can find several recipes to make fajitas.
However, I haven’t done any vegan fajitas recipes so it is about time to share one with you and I promise no beans are included in this one.
It is easy to go and make a vegan recipe and add beans, but in this recipe, I omitted the beans for once. I wanted to make a fast recipe with lots of taste.
The result is a fajita recipe with one of my favorite ingredients to use when making a vegetable recipe and that is oyster mushrooms.
I love the texture of this mushroom and the fun fact is that you can shred them. They have a fleshy texture and will give the recipe a great bite.
This recipe is done in no time. In less than 25 minutes you can get this dish on the table.
