I have made fajitas a number of times, but have always used prepackaged spices. Then it occurred to me that making my own combination of spices would be easy and tastier. So, I gave it a try and this is what I came up with:
For the fajita seasoning:
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you like the heat)
1/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
For the fajitas:
2-3 bell peppers (I like red, orange, and yellow), sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 poblano pepper, stem and seeds removed, and sliced
8-10 baby portobello mushrooms, quartered
Fresh corn tortillas, warmed
For topping the fajitas:
1 tomato, diced
Cilantro, chopped
Avocado or guacamole
In a saute pan, add the cooked peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Add 1/2 cup water and 2-3 tbsp of the fajita seasoning. Stir and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce just starts to thicken. Place the vegetable combination in the tortillas and top with tomatoes, sour cream, and/or guacamole. You can use a variety of other vegetables as well, including yellow squash and zucchini.
