Ingredients
These Sheet Pan Fajitas use simple, healthy ingredients you can find in any grocery store! Here's what you'll need:
- Veggies - This recipe uses a combination of meaty portobello mushrooms, sweet bell peppers (any color works), and savory onions, plus a poblano pepper. I love poblanos, because they're very mild, but they have tons of flavor. You can always use another bell pepper instead though, if you'd prefer.
- Seasoning - You'll use a combo of soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder to season the vegetables. Soy sauce isn't typically used in Tex Mex cooking, but I love it for seasoning fajitas. It adds a delicious umami flavor you wouldn't get otherwise. Kikkoman is my fave!
- Tortillas - Feel free to use either flour tortillas or corn tortillas.
- Guacamole - Although you can add whatever toppings you'd like, I think guacamole is a must! I've included a simplified version of my favorite Guacamole Recipe, and it takes just a few minutes to make.
- Other Toppings - Have fun choosing your favorite toppings ... you'll find lots of ideas below! I used a combo of guac, salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges.
This colorful plant based recipe is naturally vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free. You can easily make it gluten free too, by using corn tortillas and swapping tamari for the soy sauce. Don't you just love a recipe that everyone at your table will enjoy eating?
You'll Also Need
To prepare this recipe, you'll need a large bowl for mixing the veggies, small one for the guacamole, and a sheet pan (these nonstick baking pans are my fave) for roasting the vegetables.
How to Make Veggie Fajitas
Let's talk about how to make this delightful dish ... it's super simple! You'll find a detail recipe card below, but here's an overview of the steps:
- Prep the veggies. Start by slicing your veggies into strips (about ½-inch thick) and them placing in a large bowl. Then, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Drizzle this seasoning mixture over the vegetables, then toss everything together until well coated.
- Roast vegetables. Spread the veggies on a single layer on a baking sheet (use two pans if necessary), then roast , flipping halfway through. The vegetables should be browned on the edges (even a little charred in spots) when they're done. While they're cooking, you'll make the simple guacamole.
- Serve. To serve, top warmed tortillas with the roasted fajita veggies, then add your favorite toppings.
Wasn't that easy? These Vegetable Fajitas are perfect for serving anytime you're craving Tex Mex, but don't want to put in a lot of effort!
Toppings
Once your veggies are ready it's time for the fun part ... the toppings! Here are some delicious ideas:
- Guacamole - Homemade Guacamole is a must have fajita topping in my opinion! You'll love my super quick recipe which I've shared below. I also have a recipe for Guacamole with No Tomatoes, if you prefer.
- Avocado - Skip the guac and serve with sliced avocado or homemade Avocado Crema instead.
- Limes - Fresh lime juice brightens up all the other flavors. I like to include a little wedge with each serving.
- Cilantro - A sprinkle a sprinkle of cilantro is another way to add fresh flavor to the roasted veggies.
- Salsa - Your favorite salsa is always a great choice. Pico de Gallo would be very tasty, but you could use this Black Bean and Corn Salsa (or even this Watermelon Salsa) for a more unique option!
- Sour Cream - A dollop of sour cream is the perfect way to embrace those Tex Mex vibes.
- Cheese - This recipe would pair perfectly with crumbled cotija or queso fresco, or shredded Monterey Jack or or pepper jack.
- Pickled Onions - Zesty pickled onions are another excellent way to add a pop of flavor.
- Jalapeños - Like things spicy? Add a few sliced fresh or pickled jalapeños.
- Hot Sauce - Add even more heat with a drizzle of hot sauce ... this Secret Aardvark Sauce is my fave!
Variations
This Vegetarian Fajitas recipe is delicious as-is, but that doesn't mean you can experiment with the flavors! Here are some easy ideas to inspire you:
- Veggies - I used a combo of classic fajita veggies (mushrooms, peppers, and onions) for this recipe, but other vegetables will work, too. Try zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and more ... this is a great way to clean out your fridge!
- Seasoning - You can easily vary this recipe by changing up the seasoning! Feel free to alter the spices (onion powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes would all be delish) or add adobo sauce (from canned chipotles) for a little smokey heat.
- Beans - Add extra flavor and a little protein by topping with black beans or pinto beans. Even roasted chickpeas would be delish!
- Gluten Free - To make this recipe gluten free, simply use corn tortillas and tamari instead of soy sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Veggie Fajitas recipe on its own, or pair it with your favorite Mexican and Tex Mex side dishes, like beans and rice, chips and salsa (try this Corn and Black Bean Salsa or these Texas Nachos), a salad (like this Garden Salad, Mexican Kale Salad, or this Watermelon Salad), or a flavorful side dish (such as Elote or this Roasted Sweet Potato Salad).
This recipe is great for parties, too! You can let everyone help themselves, or fill the tortillas with veggies before serving. I'd recommend putting the toppings in little bowls. That way, everyone can easily add their favorites at the table.
If you're serving a crowd, you may want to double or triple the recipe. It's impossible to stop at just one!
Storage
Have leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator where they'll stay fresh for three to four days. Rewarm gently in your microwave before serving.
This recipe is great for meal prep! Leftovers are super versatile and can be used for tacos, rice bowls, burritos, even salads. Get creative!
