Portabella Fajitas

Pin It We are always trying new vegetarian recipes to get more bang for our buck while grocery shopping. Big juicy portabellas are an excellent replacement for meat because of their meat like texture and also have 5g of protein in one cup. We will definitely be incorporating portabellas in our cooking in the future.. yum.  These Portabella Fajitas adapted from Hungry Girl on the Food Network were so good and not to mention, good for you!

 Heat a large saucepan with a tablespoon of oil and sautee the peppers, onion and garlic for about two minutes.

Add the mushrooms and spices.  Mix.  Cook until mushrooms, peppers and onions are softened.  Squeeze the juice of half of a lime over the portabella mixture.
