Fajita Stuffed Portobellos (Low Carb)

December 2, 2017 by Denise 9 Comments

These fajita stuffed portobellos make for a delicious and easy low carb dinner.  A quick and easy dinner with only 4.1g net carbs per serving.

These fajita stuffed portobellos make for a delicious and easy low carb dinner.  

In a recent post, I mentioned that I’m really into portobello mushrooms lately. This is becoming a staple in our house…especially when I don’t have much time to make dinner.  I always have peppers and onions on hand as well as frozen rotisserie chicken. So I can throw these fajita stuffed portobellos together quickly and my husband and I just love them. Of course it’s another low carb, Paleo meal for us so that is a bonus. We don’t eat anything else with it and it’s very satisfying.

I wrote in my last portobello post (Bacon Blue Cheese Burger Stuffed Portobello) that I prepare the mushrooms ahead of time by cleaning out the gills, rubbing with oil and baking for about 10 minutes. I do a bunch at once so I have them on hand for later in the week. They keep nicely in the refrigerator.  To make the stuffing, I just sauté onions, peppers, tomatoes and spices and add my cooked chicken last. Once all the flavors are incorporated, I fill the caps.

I like using fresh veggies from the garden with these. We had bell and banana peppers this year as well as grape tomatoes so I used them all in this recipe. After you stuff the mushrooms, top with shredded cheese and bake for 10 minutes more.

When they come out of the oven, they are ready to serve. They reheat well too.

So that is all there is to it. Another quick and easy low carb meal for you (approximately 4.1 net carbs). If you haven’t tried portobellos yet I encourage you to try them. Just find other ingredients that naturally go with mushrooms (like burgers and fajitas) and you won’t be disappointed.  I have a few more stuffed portobello mushroom recipes in the pipelines so if you like these, stay tuned for more in the next couple weeks. Enjoy!
