PORTOBELLO FAJITAS

Steps:

• For the spice blend: Stir together the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a bowl.
• For the fajitas: Set a large skillet over high heat. Once the pan starts smoking, add the portobellos, bell peppers, onions, salt and 2 teaspoons of the spice blend. Dry-saute the veggies until you see charring and blistering, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lay out the tortillas and top each with the portobello veggie mix. Sprinkle each with a pinch of the spice blend. Top with sour cream, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM SHAWARMA PITAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed sheet pan, drizzle the mushrooms and red onion with 3 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander, paprika (if using), 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer and roast until tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Add the pitas directly to the oven rack to warm during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Meanwhile, toss cabbage with remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and turmeric; season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, slather yogurt over warm pitas. Top with cabbage, mushroom mixture and herbs, and serve immediately.
