Mix all the spices together in a sealed container and shake, or whisk together well in a small bowl.
Chipotle Sour Cream Directions
Mix the sour cream, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce with a whisk, until well blended. Place into the refrigerator until fajitas are ready to be built.
The Fajitas
Remove the stems of the mushrooms and gently remove the gills using a spoon. Slice the mushrooms into ½-inch thick strips.
Cut off the tops of the peppers, slice them in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Take half of each pepper and slice peppers into ¼ inch strips, no more than 3 inches in length.
Slice off the root end and the tip of the red onion. Set it on one of its flat sides and cut down through the middle of the onion, then slice each half into ¼ inch wide strips by slicing from one flat side to the other.
Add one tablespoon of oil to a large cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions in and toss to coat. Add a small pinch of salt to help the cooking process. Cook onion for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to wilt.
Add in the remaining tablespoon of oil and pepper slices to the pan. Toss to coat and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
Next, add mushroom slices to the pan, toss to coat with oil and juices from the onions and peppers. Add in fajita seasoning. Toss well and allow the mushrooms to cook until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from the pan and put the veggies on a platter in a warm place until tortillas are done.
Prepare tortillas, per package instructions or toast slightly over a gas burner.
Remove the chipotle sour cream from the refrigerator and stir well. Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, smear some of the chipotle sour cream onto the warmed tortilla. Next add-on some mushrooms, peppers and onions and garnish with cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro and any toppings you wish to add. Serve immediately.
Notes
You more than likely will not use all of the fajita seasoning. You can store the leftover seasoning in an airtight jar or container for later use.Put the leftover peppers in a zip-top bag with a piece of paper towel to absorb moisture, and stick in the fridge for another dish.Feel free to may the chipotle sour cream as spicy as you like!
