Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic into thin strips.
Step 2: Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chilli powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Season the Vegetables: Place the sliced vegetables in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the seasoning mix over them. Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated.
Step 4: Cook the Vegetables: Heat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned vegetables and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas: While the vegetables are cooking, wrap the tortillas in a tortilla warmer or foil and place in the oven at 200°F to keep them warm.
Step 6: Serve: Place the cooked vegetables on a serving platter and place the warm tortillas on the table. Let your guests help themselves by adding the vegetables to their tortilla, topping with salsa, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Notes
- Adjust the Spices: Depending on your preference for spiciness, you can adjust the amount of chili powder used in the recipe. You can also add or subtract any other spices to your liking.
- Use a Hot Pan: Make sure the griddle or grill pan is hot before adding the vegetables. This will help them cook evenly and develop a nice char.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the vegetables. You want to give them enough space to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of grilling.
- Use a Wide Pan: If you have a wide pan, it’s best to use that when cooking the vegetables. A wide pan will give you more surface area to cook the vegetables on, making it easier to turn them and preventing them from steaming.
