Portobello Fajitas

I found this on the internet but forgot to save where. This is one that we cheated on...we added shrimp, but it would have been delicious without it too. These were incredibly good!

1 orange bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 red onion
2 portabello mushrooms
Olive oil
Tequilla-we didn't have this so we just used a couple of splashes of Glenlivet...which is scotch maybe?
1 lemon, or a few table spoons of lemon juice.
cumin
chili powder
1 avocado
2 large tomatoes


Step 1 - Clean and slice up the mushrooms into nice thick slices. Place in a ziplock bag. Pour in a little olive oil, squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon, and pour in about 1/4 cup of tequilla. Squeeze out the air and seal up the bag. Let marinade on the counter while you work on the rest.

Step 2 - Slice up the peppers and onion into strips.












Step 3 - Saute the mushrooms and the onions. Cook, covered but stirring often, over medium-high heat for a couple minutes. Add the bell peppers. Sprinkle the whole mess with salt, cumin and chili powder to taste and pour in a lil more tequila. Stir up and let finish cooking. Serve with warm tortillas and top with the chopped tomato and avocado.


We served ours with the leftover refried beans from the other day with a little cheese on top. YUM!
