“Beef” Fajita Salads

10- ounce package Abbot’s Butcher Plant-Based Ground “Beef”

2 tablespoons Fajita Spice Blend

¼ cup water

2 bell pepperssliced

1 yellow onionsliced

8 ounces mushroomssliced

2 tablespoons olive oildivided

Kosher salt

Black pepper

2 heads romaine lettucechopped

Pico de gallo

Guacamole

Lime wedges

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in Abbot’s Butcher “Beef”, 2 tablespoons fajita spice blend and ¼ cup water. Stir to combine, cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Wipe out skillet and return to cooktop over medium-high heat. Add 1½ tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Once heated, add in sliced bell peppers and yellow onion. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until soft and cooked through. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add remaining 1½ tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, over medium-high heat. Once heated, add sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a couple of pinches of kosher salt and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until water releases from the mushrooms and they begin to crisp.

Add a generous portion of chopped romaine lettuce to a serving bowl. Top with a couple of scoops of each – the fajita “beef”, onions and peppers, and mushrooms. Use pico de gallo and guacamole in lieu of another salad dressing, and squeeze a lime wedge on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Spice Blend First 🌶️
Bloom your Fajita Spice Blend in the oil for 30 seconds before adding the plant-based meat to unlock deeper, more complex flavors and prevent raw spice taste.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan 🍳
Cook the plant-based 'beef' in batches if needed—overcrowding causes steaming instead of browning, resulting in better texture and caramelization for authentic fajita flavor.
Char Your Vegetables Separately ✨
Cook mushrooms, onions, and peppers in a separate pan to get a proper sear and prevent them from releasing water that dilutes the 'beef' seasoning.
Add Lime Juice at Two Stages 🍋
Squeeze fresh lime into the hot fajita mixture for brightness, then reserve additional lime wedges for serving to let diners control acidity and freshness levels.
Assemble Just Before Eating 🥗
Keep the warm fajita mixture separate from the romaine and cold toppings until assembly time to prevent wilting and maintain crisp texture for optimal meal prep storage.
