Author: The Kitchen Prep
- 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
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.
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

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.
