comment icon 119 more comments Roasted bell peppers, caramelizey onions, and steak-like portobello mushroom strips just go really well together to begin with! But now add some mashed avocado and a mini-waterfall of spicy chipotle cashew queso, and tuck it all in nice and cozy into a soft flour tortilla, and wow. Game over. This is what’s for dinner, on repeat, indefinitely.
So About Sheet Pan Fajitas.
In other words, let’s roast stuff. Everything goes on the tray, and you pop it in the oven. You’re not standing around a pan. You’re not dealing with oil splatters. You close the oven door and you’re free. FREE. Can you use regular meat WELL YES of course you can. You do you! But how do sliced, roasted portobello mushrooms coated in seasonings compare to steak of chicken? Call me crazy but I say better: you still get the hearty, meaty, strip-like essence, plus amazing flavor, plus you keep it in the plant family, which is nice for everyone sometimes.
Chipotle Queso Needs a Word
And the word is: YES. Y to the E to the S. This is a riff on the 3-ingredient vegan queso that we already know and love, but just with an added chipotle pepper or two for kick. If you have chips handy, you will have zero leftovers. Tuck those veggies over some mashed avocado in a nice soft flour tortilla and get an aggressive amount of chipotle queso on top, and you are in delicious plant-based business. How good would these be with magic green sauce? Or some added sofritas or cauliflower walnut meat to pack in the protein? SO GOOD. And should you make some vegan strawberry crumble bars for dessert? I am not even going to answer that (yes).
