Ingredients

  • 4 portobello mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze store-bought or see recipe below
  • 4 corn tortillas warmed
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo or taco/enchilada sauce
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

  • Heat a few teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add portobello slices and cook, stirring often, until they start to release their juices. When liquid has somewhat cooked away, add onion and a sprinkle of salt. Continue to cook until the onions have softened and the mixture isn't as wet.
  • Add balsamic glaze and toss to fully coat mushrooms. Cook for another minute or two to let the mushrooms absorb the glaze.
  • Smear adobo sauce onto warmed tortillas.
  • Place a scoop of cooked balsamic portobello mixture on each tortilla.
  • Top with a sprinkle of goat cheese and some fresh cilantro, along with any other of your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

Variations
  • Marinate your portobello mushrooms in a vinaigrette to give them extra flavor.
  • Toss in other veggies such as bell peppers, corn or zucchini.
  • Top with your favorite taco toppings such as a crunch slaw, guacamole, pickled red onions, pico de gallo... the options are endless!
Diet-Specific Substitutions
  • Vegan/Dairy-Free: Leave out the goat cheese or use your favorite plant-based cheese.
  • Gluten-Free: Serve in corn tortillas or gluten-free tortillas.
Balsamic Glaze
Make homemade balsamic glaze by bringing about ⅓ cup of balsamic vinegar to a boil over high heat and then allowing it to reduce down to a few tablespoons and is thick and syrupy.
