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:

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!
