1

Prepare the [chipotle pecan pesto] and [refried beans]. Set aside.
2

Add avocado oil (1 tbsp) to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add red onion (1 medium) and sauté for minutes (3) until beginning to brown and soften. Add bell pepper (1 medium) and cook for minutes (4) until tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3

To the empty skillet, add avocado oil (1 tbsp) and sliced [portobello mushrooms] in a single layer. Cook for [2-4 minutes] per side until lightly browned. Repeat for any remaining [portobello mushrooms] with avocado oil (1 tbsp) if needed.
4

Once all the mushrooms are cooked, reduce heat to low. Return all cooked mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Add dried oregano (1.5 tsp), garlic powder (0.75 tsp), and sea salt (0.5 tsp). Toss to coat and heat through, then remove from heat.

If using [canned refried beans], heat them in a saucepan or microwave until warmed through.

Warm corn tortillas (8 (6-inch)) by wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for minute (1). Alternatively, warm one at a time in a cast iron skillet over high heat for minute (0.33) per side.
