Mexican Stuffed Mushrooms Recipes

MEXICAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Roast poblano: blacken on a comal or under a broiler, then place in a bowl under plastic wrap for 15 minutes; after that, easily remove skin, slit open, and discard seeds and stem.
• Dice poblano and set aside until needed.
• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Scrape out dark gills from the underside of the mushrooms and make sure the mushrooms are clean.
• Put some foil on a baking sheet and spray with oil and place mushrooms gill side up on it.
• Spread 2 tablesoons of salsa (approximate) on each mushroom, smoothing out- if they are big, add just a touch more, etc.
• Divide out the chopped poblanos among the mushrooms and place over the salsa.
• Sprinkle with sliced jalapenos (this will make the mushrooms spicy) over the poblanos.
• Cover each mushroom with about 1/2 cup shredded queso anejo cheese.
• Place pan in oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked and tender.
• Garnish mushrooms with chopped cilantro before serving.

MEXICAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Twist mushroom stems free from caps, trim dried ends, and finely chop the stems.
• In a frying pan, combine mushroom stems, green onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and water. Bring to a boil and cook until water evaporates and veggies begin to brown.
• Add tomato sauce, peppers, and 1/2 the cheese. Remove from the heat and stir in the stuffing mix.
• Preheat the oven to 400° and spray a 9X13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. I like to use olive oil flavored spray.
• Mound a teaspoon or so of the stuffing mixture into each mushroom cap (depending on the size of the cap), then place in the baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned.
