Mexican-Style Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms use the versatile, oversized mushroom cap and stuff it full of healthy ingredients, for a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal.
Portobello mushrooms are the little black dress of vegan or vegetarian dinners. They solve all the problems, they go with everything, and everything goes with them.
They make a wonderful lunch or dinner when stuffed. And because mushrooms have big umami, they are perfect for meatless meals that satisfy.
This Mexican-ish version has lots of healthy ingredients like quinoa, black beans and veggies packed into portobello mushroom caps. You could serve this as a main or appetizer, depending on your plans. I like it with a big green salad alongside for dinner, but suit yourself. And it’s wonderful topped with mashed avocado and a side of corn chips.
The bottom line is it looks fun, colorful and will be a hit on your dinner table, in about 30 minutes.
