One Pot Vegan Fajita Pasta

Paulina Suonvieri

I love Mexican or Mexican Inspired food. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite cuisines, and when I was in California, and more precisely San Diego a few years ago which is wall-to-wall with Mexico, we ate sooo much Mexican-inspired-food. One day I wish to travel to THE actual Mexico to be able to eat their authentic delicious food. I can only imagine how tasteful it is! Until that day I will give you various Mexican inspired recipes because oh day*m, it is good! And today I’m not only giving you a recipe that is extremely delicious, I’m also giving you the most simple recipe which you only need one pot to make!

One Pot… what?

One Pot Vegan Fajita Pasta. Yes, you heard me! You only need one pot/ skillet to make this dish. Not like two, three or four different kinds so you have a bunch of things to dish afterwards. No you make this whole delicious dish in one pot and you have a complete dish including vegetables, a protein source, carb source, saucy, deliciousness and so much more. This dish I completely vegan and I have used a vegan substitute for chicken for this recipe (vegan “chicken” filet bites) and you can use optional substitute that is similar or possibly tofu too.

  • Vegan

  • Simple and cheap to make

  • Made in one pot

  • Perfect food prep food

  • Perfect food for families

  • Make it gluten free if using gluten free pasta

  • Protein Rich

  • Full of flavor
