Grilled Portabella Fajitas - Mostly Meatless Almost Vegetarian Recipes

Chicken fajitas are one of my favorite TexMex dishes so I knew I would have to find a way to enjoy a Mostly Meatless version of them. I decided that grilled portabella mushrooms would be the perfect substitute for the chicken, they are a very “meaty” mushroom and are great sponges for flavor. To make the dish healthier I also removed the sour cream and replaced the cheddar/jack with a more authentic queso fresco.

I am really, really happy with how they came out. The portabellas really work well and are substantial enough to make even the carnivoriest carnivore grunt their approval. Enjoy these spinach & portabella fajitas!
