Portobello and Vegetable Fajitas in Capsaicin Sauce

Fajitas are so simple yet so delicious. My favorite way to make fajitas is using portobello mushrooms with a variety of vegetables.  And when topped with freshly made guacamole, you have a perfect meal.


This particular dish was inspired by the Saucee Capsaicin No. 1 Sauce. What I love about this sauce is that it has quite a kick with a fresh tomato base. Made with all-organic ingredients and no preservatives, you can really taste all of the ingredients -- tomatoes, onions, carrots, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and habanero peppers. I cooked all of the vegetables and mushrooms in this sauce and it was so flavorful that I didn't even need to add salsa. It coated the veggies quite well and gave them a seriously spicy kick. I'd go as far as to say that I think this is more of a hot pepper sauce than a tomatoey sauce and I absolutely love that! The tomatoes somewhat temper the spiciness, but not enough to take it away.
