Portobello Fajitas
Portobello mushrooms are severely underrated. They’re low in calories, cholesterol, and fat while still providing important nutrients like potassium and vitamin D and giving you that hearty, satisfying edge. They take the place of beef or chicken in this recipe, so it’s perfect for serving to your vegetarian friends.
