Ingredients

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon mild chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large portobello mushroom, cleaned and sliced
  • 8 asparagus spears, trimmed and halved
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 6 small flour tortillas, warmed
  • Guacamole or preferred sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add mushroom slices in a single layer. Sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Increase heat to high. Add asparagus, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes until slightly charred and tender-crisp.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, return mushrooms to pan, and pour sauce over all vegetables. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens and coats veggies.
  6. Remove from heat. Adjust seasoning and top with chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve veggie mix in warm tortillas topped with guacamole or sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Swap asparagus with broccoli or green beans as desired.
  • For spicier flavor, add cayenne to the sauce or top with hot salsa.
  • Great with toppings like vegan sour cream, salsa, or lime wedges.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in skillet.
