Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 3 tbsp | Parsley |
| 2 cloves | Garlic |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 tsp | Fresh ground black pepper |
| 1/8 tsp | Red pepper flakes |
| 4 | Portabella mushrooms |
| 2 | Red onions |
| 2 | Green peppers |

| 2 | Avocados |
| 4 | Flour tortillas |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined, creating a flavorful marinade.
-
Marinate the Vegetables: Add the portabella mushrooms (sliced), red onions (cut into wedges), and green peppers (sliced) to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the vegetables until they are thoroughly coated with the marinade, ensuring each piece is infused with flavor. Set aside and allow the vegetables to marinate for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Grill the Vegetables: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated vegetables on the grill grates. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the vegetables are tender and have developed those coveted grill marks, imparting a delicious smoky flavor.
-
Slice and Prepare the Toppings: Transfer the grilled vegetables to a cutting board. Slice the portabella mushrooms, onions, and peppers into thin strips, ready to be assembled into delectable fajitas. Slice the ripe tomatoes and avocados to add a refreshing touch to your fajitas.
-
Warm the Tortillas: If desired, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side, until they are soft and pliable, ready to be filled with the flavorful grilled vegetables and toppings.
-
Assemble the Fajitas: Arrange the grilled vegetables, sliced tomatoes, and avocados on a platter, creating a colorful spread of ingredients. Place the warmed tortillas alongside the toppings, inviting your guests to build their own fajitas according to their preferences.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Encourage your guests to customize their fajitas by filling the warm tortillas with the grilled vegetables, sliced tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices. For an extra burst of flavor, offer your favorite sauce or salsa as a topping.
Note: If you don’t have access to a grill, you can easily replicate the cooking process by using a broiler. Simply place the marinated vegetables on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred.
