    This easy fajita seasoning recipe is made using common spices, and it adds delicious flavor to your veggies. But, it’s also super versatile.

    You can use this spice blend as a taco seasoning in my vegan taco meat, mix it in with brown rice along with a little lime juice, or liven up these delicious refried beans.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    • Paprika: smoked or sweet paprika works. It really is about your taste preference.
    • Cayenne Pepper: I have found that ½ teaspoon adds just the right amount of spice. But, you can adjust this to suit your taste.
    • Salt: use sparingly and you can keep the sodium extremely low or simply eliminate it altogether.

    How To Make Easy Veggie Fajitas

    1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
    2. Once the pan is hot add 4 ounces of sliced mushrooms, ½ cup of sliced red onion, and 2 bell peppers, sliced.
    3. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of veggie broth, add 2 tablespoons of the homemade fajita seasoning, and lightly toss everything. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
    4. Serve in warm corn tortillas and top with my vegan tofu sour cream.
