Sheetpan Vegetarian Fajitas w/ Vegan Queso

SHEETPAN VEGETARIAN FAJITAS WITH VEGAN QUESO😍

Ahh yes.. The beautiful magic that is the sheetpan dinner: throwing a bunch of veg onto a sheetpan wrapping it up in a taco hug and having dinner on the table in 20 minutes. Yes please. And don’t even get me started on that vegan queso: deliciously creamy, smoky, a tad bit spicy, and utter perfection. Enough to scare the Monday scaries away! Also grain-free, dairy-free and sugar-free, the perfect Meatless Monday meal for our Rockin Meals Challenge. You’ve gotta make this!

Serves 3-4.

Ingredients:

For the Sheetpan Fajitas:

• 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)

• 1 small red or yellow onion, sliced

• 1 poblano pepper, sliced (omit if you are sensitive to spice)

• 3 Portobello mushrooms, sliced 

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 2 tsps chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp salt + more to taste

• 1 lime, quartered

• 4 grain free tortillas (I like SieteFoods)

For the Vegan Cashew Queso:

• 1 cup cashews 

• ½ cup water

• 1 tbsp tomato paste

• 1 4oz can diced green chilies

• 2-3 tsps Cholula hot sauce + more to taste (or any sugar-free hot sauce)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp chili powder

• 2 tsps vinegar

• 1 tsp salt + more to taste

Directions:

For the Sheetpan Fajitas with Vegan Queso:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

• Soak cashews with 1 cup of water for 20-30 minutes. Drain.

• Add cashews, 1/2 cup water, tomato paste, green chilies, vinegar, hot sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.

• Add seasonings and olive oil to the bottom of a bowl and mix to combine.

• Add in the sliced peppers, onions, and mushrooms and mix until well combined. 

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spread out the veggies on both trays, ensuring they’re as spread out as possible (use 3 trays if you need to).

• Roast for 18-20 minutes until soft, then take out one of the trays and place the other 6” from the broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred, then remove from the oven and repeat with the second tray.

• Meanwhile, toast your tortillas 30-60 seconds in a skillet until soft.

• Load the tortillas up with the veggies and top with the vegan queso and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
