Portabella Tacos Recipes

PORTABELLA TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add mushrooms, oregano, oil, salt and pepper (if desired), zucchini sticks, and onion slices to large bowl. Toss to blend well.
• Spoon mixture evenly into a jellyroll pan (line it with nonstick foil if you have it). Place pan in oven and let vegetables roast, tossing occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
• Soften tortillas by wrapping them in a damp cloth and heating in the microwave for about twenty seconds. Or you can warm them in a nonstick frying pan (use a little cooking spray if you like).
• Fill each tortilla with mushroom mixture, some shredded cheese, and salsa.

PORTOBELLO TACOS WITH PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• Set up your grill and heat up your coals.
• When coals are almost ready, toss mushrooms caps in oil and garlic. Set stand for a few minutes. Place mushroom slices onto grill. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the Pico de Gallo. Season with salt and let stand for a few minutes.
• Squeeze lime over the mushroom slices and then sprinkle with some salt. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes and squeeze more lime and salt over slices.
• Heat tortillas on open section of grill while mushrooms finish up, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove tortillas from the grill. To assemble, place a few slices of the mushrooms on a tortilla, top with Pico de Gallo and sliced radishes, and serve immediately.

GRILLED PORTABELLA AND POBLANO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat a lightly oiled grill on medium-high heat.
• While the grill is heating up, prepare the pico de gallo. In a small mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, salt and lime juice. Set aside.
• Next, prepare the grilled portabella filling. Remove the stems from the portabellas, and discard. Using a spoon, scrape out the dark gills from the underside of the mushroom caps.
• Lightly brush the portabellas and the onions on both sides with canola oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the mushrooms, onion, and poblano on the hot grill, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until the mushrooms are softened and the onion is lightly charred. Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board.
• Remove the stem and seeds from the poblano, and discard. Cut the poblano and the portabellas into thin strips, and roughly chop the onion. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with lime juice and chipotle powder until well coated.
• To assemble, arrange 2 tortillas per plate, and divide the mushroom filling evenly between them. Serve with pico de gallo and bowls of the different toppings so that everyone can garnish their tacos as they please.

PORTOBELLO AND ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini and onion with remaining teaspoon oregano and tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Place both sheets in oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are browned and fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes (zucchini may cook faster than mushrooms).
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium-high heat, warm tortillas according to package instructions (they should be lightly browned but still soft). Wrap loosely in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
• To serve, fill each tortilla with mushrooms, vegetable mixture, shredded cheese, and salsa.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove thick end of mushroom stem, leaving about 1/2 inch (1 cm) attached to cap.
• Place, smooth side up, in large, shallow glass dish.
• Combine oil, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper; pour over mushrooms, turning and brushing to coat evenly.
• Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Reserving marinade, place mushrooms, smooth side down, on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook for 5 minutes.
• Turn and baste with marinade; cook, covered, for about 3 minutes or until mushrooms yield to the touch when pressed.
• Arrange Parmesan over top; cook, covered, for about 2 minutes or until melted.
