Vegan Fajitas

Vegan Fajitas

Fajitas by definition are grilled meat.  So perhaps, I should call these “Broiled Veggies wrapped in a Tortilla?”  Either way, you know what a fajita is and fret not, these are the most delicious fajitas I have had…ever!  You probably wonder how I can label these the best; well, I would have to call myself a fajita connoisseur.  The notorious sizzle and smoke bring shivers and happy tears to my eyes.  I try fajitas everywhere I go, so my criteria have been refined over the years.  The veggies need to have a slight char and a tender crispness.  The mushroom, tofu, tempeh, seitan, or whatever also requires a nice char and appropriately cooked.   On to flavor, there better be some recognizable flavors that scream tex-mex in my fajitas.  How can we hit all of my criteria and come out on top?

Grab the recipe below and see for yourself… utter perfection!
