Vegetarian Fajitas Recipe – Easy Sheet Pan Meal!
Vegetarian Fajitas Recipe is incredibly easy because we use a sheet pan to get all the flavor with way less work and cleanup.
These veggie fajitas are loaded with flavor and are super filling. By using a blend of spices, we pack plenty of smoky flavor into these amazing vegetables. I love loading these up with peppers, onions, squash, and mushrooms. However, I also love trying new combinations and have added potatoes, radishes, and rutabaga too! (At one point my CSA was sending me A LOT of rutabagas).
Techniques for a perfect Vegetarian Fajitas Recipe
- Because of the delicious mix of Tex-Mex influenced spices, just about any vegetable tastes great in here. If I didn’t include your favorite, add it in and let me know the result in the comments!
- If you adjust your veggies, you may need to adjust your cooking times. Just keep an eye out and pull the vegetables out when they are tender but not soggy.
- Accompaniments are key. I’ve linked to some of my favorite toppings, but be sure to include your favorite salsa or hot sauce. Avocado is also a great topping that helps cool down the spice.
Ingredients for Vegetarian Fajitas
- Taco Truck Green Sauce: This is my favorite salsa for fajitas. It is packed with flavor and is super easy to make.
- Homemade Pico De Gallo: Fresh pico de gallo piles even more flavor onto your veggie fajitas.
- Vegetables: I like using portabello mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and poblano pepper. Feel free to add in your favorites or take out any that you don’t love!
- Seasonings: Since we are cooking this easy weeknight meal in the oven instead of on the grill, I like to make sure to add some smoky spices like ancho chili powder and smoked paprika, along with salt and pepper.
- Avocado: I love avocado with fajitas, the creaminess really balances out all the bright and smoky flavors.
- Tortillas: I usually use flour because they hold together so well, but corn tortillas are wonderful in this vegetarian fajita recipe as well!
How to Make Vegetarian Fajitas
- Prepare the Taco Truck Green Sauce and Homemade Pico De Gallo according to their recipes.
- Preheat the oven.
- .On a parchment-lined baking sheet pan, toss together the sliced vegetables with the seasonings and oil. Roast the vegetables until they begin to brown.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat them on high in a microwave for about 1 minute until they are warm. The damp paper towel steams the tortillas to help make them pliable.
- Arrange cooked vegetables and avocado on a serving plate. Serve with Pico de Gallo, Taco Truck Green Sauce, and warm tortillas.
