Stovetop Fajitas with Cilantro-Lime Rice

This is a very simple recipe that makes at least 12 fajitas.  I would normally make fajitas on the grill and do just a few things differently, however, we still don't have our grill ready to use (even with all of this summertime weather we have been having). 


Stovetop Fajitas with Cilantro-Lime Rice
makes approximately 12 fajitas

6 Portabella mushroom caps, sliced
6 Bell peppers, sliced (can be any color)
2 Onions, sliced
2 Packets Fajita seasoning (or, to taste)
1/4-1/2 Cup water
Tortillas

2 1/2 Cups brown or wild rice, cooked
1 Cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot depending on desired heat)
1 Bunch cilantro, chopped
3 Tablespoons lime juice (or, to taste)

For fajitas, place mushrooms, peppers, onions, seasoning, and water in a large pan and cook about 10 minutes, or until desired tenderness.  For rice, combine rice, salsa, cilantro, and lime juice in pan on stovetop and heat through.  Serve fajita mixture and rice on a tortilla.  Or, rice can be eaten as a side.
