Corn & Black Bean Fajitas

Satisfying black bean fajitas with mushrooms & sweet corn! Super quick and easy vegan weeknight meal that you can personalize with your favorite toppings.

Flavorful, satisfying black bean fajitas with mushrooms and sweet corn! We’ve had this meal several times and I’m always amazed at how fast it comes together and how much flavor there is. (Weeknight tip: it comes together even faster by making the taco seasoning and prepping the onions and peppers in advance!)

The sweetness of the corn and bell peppers pairs wonderfully with the heartiness of the beans and mushrooms. Simply add your favorite fajita toppings (like guacamole, vegan sour cream, pico de gallo, etc.) and you’ve got an easy, delicious weeknight meal. If you’re looking for another great spin on fajitas, we love these Portobello Fajitas and Quinoa Fajita Burritos as well.
