"Excellent fast dish - perfect for company. You can throw a little veggie mock chicken as well to thicken up the recipe."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 17
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin, and maybe a little oregano never hurt anyone
• 4 -6 flour tortillas, warmed
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 sprig cilantro

• for the guacamole

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 shallot, coarsely chopped
• 1 lime
• 1 seeded jalapeno, diced finely
• 1 diced roma tomato

directions

1. Julienne the vegetables and combine them in a bowl.
2. Add crushed garlic and mix lightly.
3. Removed mushrooms stalks and slice the caps - add to the bowl. mix the oil and chili powder, cumin and oregano in a cup, pour over veggies, and stir well.
4. Set aside to marinate. Note: Carnivores should feel free to add sliced chicken/steak.
5. Make the guacamole (I'm sure you know how), cover tightly and chill out in a fridge.
6. Heat a frying pan or wok until very hot. Add veggies and stir fry over high heat 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms and peppers are just tender (I prefer mine slightly charred). Of course, meat eaters will probably need to cook longer so as not to have a bio-hazard for dinner. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Spoon the filling on to the tortilla and roll up.
8. Garnish with cilantro and serve with guacamole and lime wedges.

These are really delicious! The only changes I made were using 2 red bell peppers (didn't have any yellow), threw in some spinach, and cut back on the oil~~only used 2 T. olive oil & 4 T. water. Worked beautifully and we really enjoyed them! Thanks so much for sharing! :O)
